We recently moved from the inner west into Baulkham Hills. It was completly unexpected and unplanned. We had been searching in the inner west and eastern suburbs for a while and were completly disheartened at the ridiculous prices. We had accepted that we would be living in a unit.
I then did a search on baulkham hills and was impressed with the price value. We could basically live in a unit for 800k in the inner west/eastern suburbs or get a decent family home in the hills for the same price. Once we made the decision to move to baulkham hills, we found a house immediately. At 800k we now have a home which is 720 sqm - 6 bedrooms and sitting on a reserve. The area is so tranquil and beautiful. My two kids aged 4 and 2 love it. People are lovely and the area is in close proximity to all the major retail stores. I shop at stocklands - the woollies there is massive and they also have Harris farm. The only drawback for me is the distance to the beach. But seeing the kids free and happy puts everything Into perspective. Whilst I love love love the beach lifestyle, it's just not affordable for families. We lived in a unit with the kids prior to moving to the hills and I have to say the change I have seen in my son has made me accept that this was the right move.
