Figtree is an amazing suburb for families in the illawarra. There is plenty of parks and walks and you can't go wrong with the schools. There is also a great shopping centre and the connection to the Motorway is perfect. It is also less than 10 min drive to the CBD and you have SO many beaches to choose from. There is 20+ beaches along the coastline here so no chance of them getting overcrowded. There are a lot of sydneysiders making the move and a lot of new development/renovations going on! It's the sort of suburb I grew up in as a kid, where you know everyone and the kids can safely play in the streets. It is a huge suburb so some areas have some housing development but the Mt Keira/West Wollongong/Nareena Hills sections are lovely. 10/10
