We lived in Bondi for many years and moved to the Bra in 2018. Best decision we ever made. Maroubra is friendly, has a gorgeous expansive beach and has a super relaxed beachy vibe. There are a multitude of shops everywhere - and you can easily park at all of them! (This is unlike any other eastern suburb and actually reduces a lot of stress) and there’s space everywhere. There is a bit of a dodgy part (stay away from the American-named streets As they are housing commission) but that is just a few streets and the rest of it is families and oldies and young professionals. Transport to the city isn’t bad either (around a 30-45min bus ride depending on where you live). If you’re looking for an eastern suburb where you can relax by the beach and raise a family Maroubra is the go.
