"Good for when the kids are small"

I moved here last year and it has generally been good. Very far from anything interesting and traffic to get to anywhere interesting is horrendous. On the flipside it's relatively affordable for a decent middle class suburb.

Public transport is horrendous, property crime ie break and enter is common and people are quite gloomy, probably due to their mortgage stress.

Once the kids are a bit older and need more than a backyard I'll be going back to middle ring or inner city suburbs.

Who lives here?

Breakfast Point

"Beauty is only skin deep"

As the old saying goes, beauty is only skin deep. This is so appropriate for Breakfast Point.

On the outside, Breakfast Point is truly a beautiful place to live. Manicured lawns, meticulous landscaping and seemingly perfectly maintained buildings will impress the most fussiest of residents. Even the retirees look energetic on their strolls. The foreshore area is great for a morning run or evening walk. Picture perfect, it seems.

Dive deeper and you'll find many, many issues with the place. I have lived in one of the newly constructed buildings for a few months now and here are my thoughts:

1. Parking is a nightmare - if you are expecting guests past 5pm on day, forget about them finding a spot close to your building. On a weekend? Don't even think about it. Add to that, illegal parking is the norm here. Where else in Sydney will you find a Bentley or Jaguar parked illegally in a disabled spot? Or how about rows of cars parked under a 'no stopping' sign?

2. Bad driving - stop signs mean nothing in Breakfast Point. Wannabe eurotrash hooning their Mercedes C63 AMGs. The main entry/exit stop signs on Tennyson Road is notorious - I almost get cleaned up here on a daily basis.

3. Impersonal - maybe it's apartment living, or just the type of people Breakfast Point attracts. I have found that people here are not really friendly compared to other places that I have lived.

4. Rules and regulations - this one is self explanatory. Can't do this, can't do that. Everything has to be white and so on and so forth.

On a whole, Breakfast Point feels to me like a community that is 'manicured' to present well to would-be property owners prepared to pay big money to live here. Like many transient residents of this suburb, I will be out of here in due course. However, I would not consider spending my hard earned retirement money on a $1.5m apartment in Breakfast Point.

Interesting to note, that the people listed under "Recommended for" - literally covers all people, expect anyone on welfare or homeless. Singles, Professionals, Retirees, (that is all ages right there) and trendy and stylish so a nice mix of these people. Sounds rather nice to me.

There would be plenty big parking if the lines were marked for normal sized cars and not American dodge rams
