We moved to Thornlie a few years ago and can see ourselves living here for the next 20+ years. For a reasonable price we were able to buy close to the city (within 25 mins) with good public transport via the train which I catch every day to work and even better once the new Thornlie Cockburn Link is completed. There are lots of lovely parks in the suburb and the City of Gosnells has been doing lots of projects to upgrade facilities including the revamp of the Thornlie Leisureplex. Lots of good schools. A strong sense of community with events at the local footy club including food van and market stalls in summer, also good community organisations such as the Gosnells Toy LIbrary and Forest Lakes Family Center with playgroups and interest clubs. The block sizes are larger than most new developments giving us space for a big shed, pool and garden, the Aussie dream backyard!

Full of friendly caring neighbours. After just a few years in the street we have managed to meet and chat with most neighbours and even enjoy a Christmas party together each year. My wife and I love sitting out the front with our little one and waving to the walkers from our garden. Very little traffic and everyone enjoys a good weekend in the garden.
