I like the look of Cronulla but is out of my radar because of the commute to the CBD/North Sydney. 30 mins max is my choice of commute distance.

but Cronulla is so much nicer the commute is worth it and the view from the RSL club is superb!

Hey Heather , thanks for the info , we have dropped the St Ives idea for exactly that reason . We have been looking in the hills for value for money and are thinking about Glenhaven , as it seems less busy than Castle Hill but is near enough to all amenities . We would miss the sea as we live next to a beach here , but we are worried about being surrounded by second/holiday homes and apartments rather than other families on the coast , that is what has happened here , there are also a lot of retirees rather than younger people , is Freshwater next to Manly ?

Although it looks as if we will have to have a look at Cronulla as it seems to have loads of fans !!

For Cronulla read Eastbourne!! Lovely area, nice beach but maybe not a hub of younger social activity.
