Considered a quiet place to live, you’ll find a mixture of single-family dwellings, units and townhouses.
The local 'Village' shopping centre on Greenwich Road opposite the school and down the hill has a local supermarket, a bottle shop, a post office, hairdressers, coffee shops, a physiotherapist, a chemist, a fish & chip restaurant, a real estate agent and a medical practice.
Larger supermarkets and a wider selection of retail shopping are located in Lane Cove about four kilometres to the west and at Crows Nest, about three kilometres to the east.
The village offers a remarkable range of community services and activities for a suburb of its size.
