Chittaway Bay

"If you are going to live on the central coast, Chittaway is a good place."

Chittaway Bay has a nice relaxed feel, locals are friendly and many people are on a first name basis. One of the few areas of the Central Coast that isn't completely filled with people of a low social eco and moral compass. If you are going to live near the lake Chittaway Bay isone of the better suburbs. No tourists yet still close to The Entrance, Terrigal, etc. Only a 5 minute drive to Tuggerah Train Station so it is perfect for commuters or those looking to move up from Sydney (as my family and I did) The first response you will get when you tell people you live (or are thinking) about living at Chittaway Bay is that there is excessive flooding. Unless you are right on the water (like Aloha or Kalua Drive) you really have nothing to worry about. Chittaway Bay also seems to miss majority of major storms, when there is lightning, thunderstorms and wind at Long Jetty there is often not one drop of rain here. One issue you will encounter at Chittaway (and majority of the central coast for that matter) is the roads, LOTS of roads have pot holes which can cause damage to your car and most roads do not have a footpath or proper storm water drainage but you will find this is an issue in basically every suburb on the Central Coast. There is also a large population of senior citizens on the central coast, (many of which are your stereotypical racist, middle class bogan) but in Chittaway Bay there is mainly families with Children that seem to live here. Give it a few years and the oldies will be out of the central coast, for now just try and deal with their slow driving. Another thing to note about Chittaway and many suburbs around the "Wyong Shire" area is the close proximity to the Sanitarium & Masterfoods Factory. On certain nights a pungent onion scent can be smelt lingering in the air. Some nights this can be unbearable but would you rather live in a suburb filled to the brim with bogans and ciggarate smoke infused air or a suburb that is a little unheard of and reasonably free from bogans and have to smell onions a few days a week? I'll let you decide.
