I've lived in Wentworth Point for about 6 weeks now, living in an apartment across the road from Marina Square and i'm slowly getting to understand the intricacies of the suburb.
It is super peaceful, clean and quiet most of the time with a few randoms screams every now and then (I don't quite understand why). The water is just a few minutes stroll away. With plenty of green areas around, the nature is just beautiful. There are walking tracks and trees around.
The shops (including Coles, Liquorland and Hairdressers/Barbers) are a 2 minute walk away and the Gym is there as well which is fantastic. The suburb feels very safe even late at night I walk regularly even at 9pm-1030pm and there are still lots of people around especially on the Rhodes waterfront promenade (which is one of my favourite things of Wentworth Point).
I personally haven't met anyone during my time here so far (other than my apartment neighbor next door) and that's not to say it will change, but it feels like most keep to themselves which is fine (i'm an outgoing person).
One thing i must call out is the terrible phone reception here. I'm talking hopeless. If you dont have a new phone which has WIFI internet calling as a feature then you wont be able to make or receive calls. WIFI calling is a must!! If your phone does have that feature then you will have phone reception in your unit (its good 90% of the time) but as soon as you leave and WIFI calling is no longer active don't assume you will get phone reception or data (internet) on the street close to apartments, or in the shops - its non existent most of the time. I cant complain about the home WIFI though, internet speeds are great when connected to the NBN in your apartment. Public transport is quite good, the ferry is a 5 min walk away and goes to the city fast and is very convenient both ways. I will however mention that the ferry to Parramatta and return isn't very frequent and doesn't run til late in the night so don't assume that's always an option. The bus service is very good around here to Rhodes train station, they are very frequent so no issues there. The closest post office is in Silverwater which is about a 7min drive thats quite easy to access. Parking is horrific here, if you don't have your own car spot in your apartment then dont bother having a car. 98/100 car spots are always taken in terms of street parking and its a 3 hour maximum parking limit almost everywhere in the suburb. One other aspect to that is, if you buy UberEats or MenuLog you will most likely have to meet the driver on the street to collect your food as a result rather than them coming up to your apartment since there is no parking (something I never thought of before moving here).
Traffic gets congested during peak times, so i'd recommend leaving and returning outside peak times on weekdays and weekends eg. return 730pm onwards in the night to avoid traffic
Finally, the location of Wentworth point is fantastic and is one of my favourite things of the area. It feels close enough to most areas of Sydney for me. Whether I want to go to the City, the South, the East or the West nothing takes more than a 30 min drive to get to. So if you have friends or family all around Sydney you will never be too far away.

Hope this helps - my honest review from my initial perspective of Wentworth Point 6 weeks in.
