Sarah Crescent is a quiet residential street with acre blocks. The houses are of a consistent standard and when there is a sale in the street, the value more than keeps up with inflation. It is a safe area with no crime, and has a neighbourhood watch system providing a measure of security for children. Traffic is consistently quiet, with the occasional house looker on the weekends.
There are not many sales in the street, so I guess most people once they buy into the area like to stay put.
At the moment we have a family of ducks wandering the street in the early morning, so I expect we will soon see little ducklings to. They return every year.
We mostly see the neighbours walking their dogs, or driving out the front gates, so there is nothing to complain about noisy or nosey neighbours.

Hello from the States! Wow, this area looks amazing. I the properties are huge! I am use to living in a more congested environment. I would love to drive out of a big gated area. I was wondering if this street was crime free and you have a neighborhood watch system why do your need the gates. I would be nice to see the outside of a home instead of the land area. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for sharing!

Hiya Satori! Welcome to our little area of the world! I know exactly what you're saying and you are right about the whole "big gates" thing, but here it's not really for any major purpose other than a bit of privacy.

Because the houses up here are all quite large, we do get a lot of sunday drivers out for a look-see at the nice places. Therefore you can be sitting there in your kitchen, wearing your bed clothes and everyone keeps driving past looking at you!! That's when the gates come in handy :)

It's funny to see that houses that haven't finished renovating and they don't have a gate/fence and you really can see exactly what they're doing!!

It's certainly nice to have an area with almost no crime and is kid friendly, but sometimes you just want to be able to feel like you've got your own bit of peace and quiet.
