Like the title suggests, I enjoy Surfers very much during the day. It is very convenient as we live across the road from shops and Cavill Ave.

The weather is mostly beautiful. The night markets are a must try if you come here.

However, we've lived here for almost 2 years and the noise levels most nights of the week, but more so on weekends are ridiculous.

If it isn't hoons and people riding scooters up and down at late hours until 3AM, it will be the music blaring from bars and nightclubs as the young kids get drunk or bogans screaming in the street all night. Surfers is plagued by addicts and bogans, but I keep to myself when I go out.

There's obviously no concern for the residents. I already have sleeping problems and that makes it worse.

It is only a family environment until around 8pm, when you can already see drunks staggering down the Boulevard. I don't feel safe going out at night unless I am in a group.

The upside is that rent is reasonable depending where you go.

Everything is mostly within walking distance if you live in the centre of Surfers.

All together, it's a mixed bag for me. Hopefully I will move eventually but it's not all bad.
