Cranebrook is a nice and quiet suburb with views of the Blue Mountains in the distance. It is leafy and green though can be hot in summer, a few degrees hotter than coastal areas. This reverse is true in the winter months where it is cooler than coastal Sydney areas. Westfield in Penrith is about ten minutes drive away and parking is not hard to find in Penrith, so it is still a convenient location for shopping. Express trains take an hour to Sydney though commuter parking is getting hard to find. On the weekend, Sydney's Inner West is about 40 mins drive away though traffic congestion during weekdays makes it impractical to commute to Sydney by car. Still, proximity to the Blue Mountains, Windsor and Richmond means that its easier to get away during weekends. Property prices seem to be climbing steadily as more people move from unaffordable inner Sydney areas. There are two distinct areas, Cranebrook waterside with more expensive and newer housing on average land sizes of 350 sq m, the other areas of Cranebrook with average land areas of over 500 sq m with older housing. Nightlife in Cranebrook is plentiful if you're thinking biodiversity or native wild life, not so much if its nightclubs you're looking for. Cranebrook has recently acquired a new shopping precinct since around 2017 so grocery shopping is now conveniently located. see https://www.i2c.com.au/project/cranebrook-village-shopping-centre/
