I've been fortunate to enter Lugarno back in 2004 - lived in Elm street, yes I know lucky for me no bad dreams only nice living.

Lugarno is certainly a great family area I've raised my two girls here and they have thrived. Totally safe suburb where walking and running is a regular occurrence at night, people feel safe and I have to admit not locking my front door for years.

With a couple of great parks in the area my girls were always exploring them, we had many picnics with the kids on the playground.

The shops have what U need, IGA, Post office, great deli, morning breakfast, new bar opening up for cocktails, good burger bar, and of course Lugarno Seafood one of the best seafood restaurants in Sydney.

House prices have gone up but so has everywhere you'll need around 1.4m to get anything half decent, but it's worth it.

May locals are now good friends we often have BBQs, parties, and social gatherings. Some awesome kids birthday parties to boot that have evolved now into 21s etc.
