I have been living in Drummoyne for 1 yr so far.
Living on Lyons rd is not easy because of the traffic that happens 7 days a week. Mon to Fri only during peak hours and all times on the weekends. So accessing my building to park my car isnt easy. Is possible try to avoid Lyons rd by using the back roads that take you to birkhead point, five dock, victoria rd.
Victoria rd is another heavy traffic st and anzac bridge that takes you to the city is a nightmare during peak hours.
My unit faces drummoyne oval, so i dont have problem with noise from the street.
Airplane noise has reduced since the behining of 2018. Last summer there were so many airplanes cruising on our heads that watching tv at night was only possible with all windows and doors closed. This winter isnt bad. Not sure if because the low season in Sydney or because airplanes are on another route. I can tolerate better the airplane noise than victoria rd n lyons rd traffic.
Regards the small streets in Drummoyne, its a peaceful area. Drummoyne oval and bay run offer great views, parks, footpath to running.
Few options of cafes, restaurants n pubs in the area, what makes a quiet suburb. Good for resting on your days off and have a good night of sleep.
There are 10 bus route to the city and central, but no train. Around 30min by bus to martin place/circular quay. Or 10min driving to town hall when no traffic.
Groceries shopping available in iga, harris harm, aldi n coles.
Overall its a great area to live if you are looking for quiet, green and bay water area. Not so good if you need to drive long distances, eating out and night life.
