I don't like the Pennant Hills Road though, which has to be one of the worst in Sydney.You can get to the city by bus but it isn't on the train line. You also have nearby shopping centres like Castle Hill, though I went there once and vowed never again to try to navigate and park there!! Thornleigh is on the train line so may be better for commuting. Dural is way too far out.

Have a look at Berowra/Asquith and Mt Colah. They are on the train line too, and close to Hornsby.

Just been up and done some checking out, it's looking like more The Shire area, as that ticks most boxes for lads, bit of a commute for the hubby, but he will be fine I'm sure.
