Glebe is alright but if I could go back in time and pick a different place to live I probably would. The part of Glebe closer to the water is obviously the best - there's some really amazing views, and a really great dog park. The main strip on Glebe point road is nice but definitely nothing to brag about. A few good restaurants, but they're the sort of restaurant that you'd go to once and then never again. The main problem with Glebe is all the riff raff. I don't really feel all that safe walking through Glebe Point Road sometimes. At least once a week there are drunks screaming at eachother in HJ Foley Park.
The public transport situation here absolutely sucks. The buses are slow and crowded, same with the light rail. Sometimes it's quicker to walk to Central station than wait to catch a bus.
The grocery shopping here is pretty limited. Theres an IGA on Glebe Point Road however it's really small and super overpriced. There is a Coles in Broadway however it's always packed, and shopping there is such a mission. Plus, it's a Coles, and we all know that Woolies is superior. The closest Woolies is in Central Park I think.
So yeah there are pros and cons. I'm okay with living here for now because I love walking to the park and looking out at the water, and I love grabbing a nice coffee every now and then. But safety-wise, and the fact that it takes 40 mins simply to bus it to the CBD, I think I'll be moving out pretty soon.
