We live 15 minutes to beach (walk), 5 minutes (bike). It’s very bike friendly being level and flat, and a New York style ‘Street and Avenue’ grid layout so you can detour heavy traffic points.

It’s a friendly, close knit community where you can safely let young kids go to the beach, bmx track or skatepark by themselves with friends. The sort of childhood many of us had in the 80’s.

All the amenity of upmarket beaches in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney without the high prices, crime or crowds.

Schooling, the local catholic school (St John the Baptist) is great. The High School (St Edwards or St Joseph’s) are well priced and a reasonable bus trip for the kids. The local public schools have traditionally had some problems though department of education seems to be getting in good principles and lots of funding that has seen a marked improvement along with the overall gradual gentrification of the area.
