Gladesville
A family suburb that by Sydney standards is still affordable.
Gladesville, Sydney (north shore)
Gladesville is a family type suburb on the Parramatta River. It's biggest claim to fame is that one of Australia's best poets, Banjo Paterson, lived here as a kid/teenager. While Gladesville is located on the harbour, it has no bells and whistles. Instead, it is quite down to Earth, meaning it is more affordable than some other suburbs in the same area, but only just. Being a family suburb, there is a good choice of schools. The main road, Vicotoria Rd, cuts through the suburb bringing with it a lot of traffic noise. The residential streets are a lot quieter.
