"Highly under-rated Suburb close to Sydney"
Lived in Rockdale Plaza apartments for 7 years and very convenient
Highly under-rated which means good value little for those with keen eyes
Close to beach (brighton, sans souci, little bay)
Phenomenal transport options (M5 Tunnel, Princess Highway, Grande Parade, Eastern Distributor, Trains, Int & Dom Aiport)
Can be a little crowded in certain areas
Avoid being underneath the east-west runway (as can be very noisy as planes come low)
Other areas in Rockdale aren't impacted by noise
Also try and stay on the Brighton-Le-Sands side of the Princes Highway as this is a much nicer feeling (Eastern side)
Great for
- Transport
- Convenience
- Shopping
Not great for
- Avoid East - West runway path

No I dont think they process much organic waste there
Hi there, I'm considering moving to the area and wondered more about your comment about there being an LGBT+ presence in the area. Can you elaborate at all, including do you see the area being LGBT+ friendly, including the pre-school and schools? Thanks so much for your help.
I didn't see many LGBT+ friendly behaviour or people at my time in Rockdale/Kogarah (3 years). Knowing the main demographic of the area, I'd say no unfortunately.
"Small town community feeling"
Moved from St George area to the panorama estate and think it is fantastic with the closed community feel it has. Awesome for families who you will see walking around the estate with their children.
Far enough away from Liverpool and the hoons and bogans but close enough if you need to do some shopping. Personally prefer doing grocery shopping in nearby casula as it has e better class of people.
Great quality people live here and you can tell they are in a decent socio economic state by the way they dress, the cars they drive and the way they look after their houses.
Don't know much about the old glenfield but personally would only chose to live on the panorama side of glenfield - which is actually closer to Prestons and Casula than even the old Glenfield
