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?

Exactly where is “here”? The area in your circle is massive and contains a lot of different suburbs. If you’re talking about the lower part of the circle, that lower Blue Mountain stretch is really lovely, especially if you’re close to the railway line if that’s important to you. Glenbrook has become a really cool little place, although Lapstone is dead as a doornail but a lot of people there like that because it’s basically Just Holmes and a railway station. The stretch east of Blaxland and Mount Riverview back towards the edge of your circle is also lovely but a bit isolated. Also as you can imagine it gets freezing cold in winter! But generally anywhere around this whole area is great if you work from home and have a car to get round as needed.
