Having worked in the area for the past 10 years in the real estate industry, I've had my fair share of experiences. The truth is, Unanderra has elevated itself in leaps and bounds as an overall suburb throughout my time here. So much so, I surprised myself and took the plunge by purchasing a home in the area a few years ago and another recently - that's how much I have enjoyed my time here!

I thought that I would miss the peace, quiet and seclusion of my former area however, I have found that my new neighbours are friendly and always happy to say hello or lend a hand and there's a brilliant little caf/eatery/grocer (Country Grocer) that provides service with a smile and a smashing coffee for those early starts!

Couple this with a large supermarket (Woolworths) and smaller boutique stores, local private schooling (St. Pius X & Cedars Christian College), public transport (buses, taxis & train station), local nursing homes (Villa Maria & Marco Polo), local medical facilities and local swimming pool. There is also an industrial area that provides many of your larger type services such as auto care, storage, various trades.

Considering all of the local amenities and the beauty of the mountain views along with a variety of cultures and housing, this area is definitely one of my favourites!!!

A suburb that has been evolving over the years considerably. The area consisted of mainly Housing Commission properties at one point however, slowly the Department of Housing have sold some of these properties to owner occupiers and investors resulting in the cosmetic improvement of the properties and the overall area. If you are a tenant looking for value for money, this is a great area to be viewing.

The development around Lake Illawarra with playgrounds, gym equipment and skate park as well as bike tracks, walking tracks, Rowing & Yacht Club have seen water & skate lovers, fitness minded people, families and friends enjoy the area, hopefully for many more years to come!
