I've been living here in Stanmore for a few months. This suburb is right under the flight path. Flights are non-stop coming within seconds of each other almost all day - we even have to pause whatever we are watching on TV or can't even have a normal conversation with my partner when the flight is passing because it is impossible to hear! Just UNBEARABLE! I usually can sleep through any noises but this plane noise is just too much to handle and it started to affect my sleep!

There is only one IGA where offers not-so-fresh products. One time I bought a pack of minced pork and found out it was frozen when I got home! Staff are usually not friendly - I get that it is the only supermarket in the suburb and it gets busy sometimes, but they just seem annoyed by customers all the time.

Also, there are only a few shops and cafes near the train station on the main road - it is just so boring and the cafes are genuinely overpriced.

I would recommend to avoid this suburb just because of the plane noise!
