Hastings Road is a good place for all types of people. It is close to everything without being too close. Especially during 'tourist season', it is within walking distance to pubs/bars, a host of restaurants, recreation grounds, the beach etc, yet is far enough away from the crowds. It's a mere few minutes drive from Erina Fair, yet is tucked away from the main arterials used by many Central Coasters on a daily basis to get the the major centres.

The people are friendly, the area is well tenanted (i.e. most people seem to be middle class, home owners). People take pride in the area in terms of their general house presentation, groomed gardens, no daggy bins left of roads, etc.

It's absolutely silent during the night, offering a very peaceful & uninterrupted night's sleep.

We rented just down the road for a few years and were lucky to get it in the first place since the amount of people looking to live (even rent) in the area is high. We have finally bought here and are loving every second of it.

There is a great mix of (mostly) families, young professional couples and retirees. An absolutely fantastic neighbourhood to call our own.
