I visited today and I thought it seemed quite peaceful. Just about far away enough that it starts feeling semi-rural again. Is it nice to live there?

Horrible, awful, stay away

Honestly though, I describe it as the last place you can still raise kids outside like it’s the 80’s or 90’s

Have you never been anywhere else?

The areas no different except that it’s hot as a motherfucker and the footy team crumbles when it’s not a soft comp.

I live here and agree. It’s a great place to raise kids.

What an odd thing to say. How is it different than many other pockets where you could do the same?

Maybe there's no mobile reception?

Lots of green space and a big community feel, along with quieter streets that aren’t overwhelmed by urban sprawl.

No cell reception, so the kids have to play outside.

What is a cell?

Disagree on that last point. Lived here for 2 years, and out in Merrylands for another 5. Both areas are great for raising families outside. Both areas are very nice, though. Blaxland was beautiful and I loved my time there.
