We are big city people having moved from the Hills District of Sydney 12 months ago and we absolutely adore living in Craigburn Farm. It is fantastic for our family - we have a spacious house, we are surrounded by green space (we don't feel like we are enclosed like other residential suburbs), there are plenty of outdoor recreational activities like walking or cycling, we are surrounded by wildlife (we have koalas and kangaroos and loads of bird life), it is 25 mins to the CBD, 25 mins to Harndorf, 15 mins to the beach. The local government school is really good; there are loads of shopping choices in Blackwood but we are only 15mins to Marion and 10 mins to Mitcham. Kids have choice of local activities - tennis, footy, dancing, teakwondo, music school, gymnastics. We don't have trouble parking; the council has been great with maintaining parklands and roads. Great fitness centre in Blackwood. Good choice of cafes (we don't get takeaway often so can't comment on this aspect). All in all we have found a gem of a suburb.
