Monkeynutzz Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Found out this morning we will be at the Horizons apartments beside Castle Hill library. We are 10 min walk from Library in Castle Hill - great area. You can't go wrong. Bus route and shopping is excellent at this location. We have been here for 10 days now. All good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie 2 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi allWe have narrowed our search for a place to live. We will settle in either Castle Hill (where we are now) and we are going out at the weekend to have a look around Glenwood. I have done a load of research around castle hill and we like here very much, but heard a lot of good things on this thread about Glenwood. If anyone who is in Glenwood or knows this place well that can help me with these questions I would be most grateful... 1) which good primary public school is best (year 4 - I have 8 yr old twin boys) 2) How long on bus or in car does it take to get to North Sydney??? 3) is there enough shops and local parks/cycle routes etc without having to get in a car?? Look fwd to hearing from anyone julie Just had a look at Glenwood PS website. quite impressive. The Principals video is worth a look.

Glenwood Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi Monkeynutzz - I live in Glenwood and it is really nice there are a couple of ovals around and the local shops have the normal Woolworths, bakers etc - round the corner from me there is a park and a small bbq area used most days. I am sorry I can't help with the primary school my son is nearly 16 - the local primary is round the corner from me and it looks good too - I am more than happy to answer anymore questions but lets put it this way we love it in Glenwood it is a nice safe area we let oour son go running on his own in the evening without any concerns :biggrin: Let me know if you need anythign else - would offer to meet up or you to pop in for a coffee but this is my mums last weekend so we are off out most of the day!

Glenwood Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Crap didn't answer the question about travel - I work in Glebe and it takes me just over an hour to get there - I catch the train at Quakers Hill into Central (7:10) and am at my desk by 8;20am at the very latest - driving is a pain I tend not to do it very often it takes me just as long sometimes if not longer to get to where I am work wise! Where in the north is the work I can work out the travel for you if you want!

Monkeynutzz Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hi Glenwood (Lynne) we loved Glenwood, but decided to settle in Castle Hill for house/commute reasons. Be good to meet up with you/everyone around the area though soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeynutzz Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 We have been here 8 days now and only got over the jet lag on day 5! We are living in CBD for 2 more weeks , then hopefully have a house in castlehill. Finding a home is very stressful , not all the houses are as nice as on the pics haha good luck Any luck with finding a place in Castle Hill yet? Are you still in CBD???

Glenwood Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Always good when you make a decision on where you want to be and I don't blame you Castle Hills looks good too and if the commute is easier then that is half the battle with Sydney. There was talk earlier of meeting up this Sunday not too sure if that is going ahead now - I am still up for it if anyone else fancies it??

Steve n Mel Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hey guys sorry my hubby has been in hospital for a couple of days. Can we rearrange for another time?? For sure let's make another time, hope everything is ok. I've been a bit rubbish at keeping up this week as I've been working over in Perth so another time suits us, hopefully soon.
