"The best of Lisarow - look no further!"

We'll I must say after recently moving into Perratt Close in Lisarow, my recommendation to everyone looking to buy is "look no further". We are the happiest we've been in a long time - this street ticks all the boxes for us and the location is fantastic. From the moment we moved in, everyone has been so kind. There is definitely a community feel in this street with people stopping for a chat or a friendly wave whilst walking their dogs. There is a mixture of younger couples with families and older baby-boomers with majority owning their own home. All the home are no more than 30 years old so the street still has a modern feel to it. Everyone takes care of their lawns and even cut each others lawns I've noticed. Perratt Close is a long street which ends in a private cul-de-sac with some beautifully presented homes that offer privacy and relaxation. Whilst recently walking my dog, I noticed a home is currently for sale in my street and thought that I must put the word out there for others that they won't be disappointed. Perratt Close is a great place to live, the homes are well spaced from each other with good sized backyards and well maintained gardens. There is a lovely bush trail you can take through to and along the creek and it is a very short walk to the train station, bus stop and new supermarket Spar. This has been really great for the locals as you don't have to get into the car to grab some chops or fresh veggies for dinner - it's all here. there is also a nice bicycle track that runs from the youth centre/public school all the way to narara which we only discovered recently. Having the sara lee factory outlet store close by is also a treat when sometimes you can smell waffles baking as you walk down towards the end of the street. Fortunately, there is no noise from the factory itself which I was surprised to find out so that is even a bonus and I never hear the train go by. We did look a few homes in the other Lisarow estate which runs of Cambourn Drive, however the homes are so close together you are practically see into other peoples bedrooms on both sides or even behind. The train noise is also loud in that estate, especially the homes located on settlers ridge and burnside close but surprisingly enough on Perratt it is a very quiet street with lots of bell and whip birds tweeting, wild turkeys and plenty of cockatoos. We love the privacy of this street and can see ourselves here for a very long time. I think it's very rare to see homes up for sale in this street so when one comes up, I wouldn't hesitate to buy and would even do it again to invest if I had the money. I have noticed that living on the higher side of Perratt Close is also a plus as you get the full daytime sunshine whereas the lower set side receives more shade from the giant pine trees which are beautfiul to look at and smell. At night, the street falls dead to the world with so much peace and quiet that it is nice to have all windows open in the bedroom to let in a cool summer's breeze. This street is a must and the best place in Lisarow to live!
