What is good / amazing / not so great about living in Windang
- The LOCATION – you are a maximum 500 metres from ocean. Windang is based at the entrance to Lake Illawarra. You’ll never tire of the endless aquamarine views from the bridge. You are a 15 minute drive from Wollongong and a 10 minute drive to Shellharbour. It’s an even flat suburb so think large even back yards for kids to play, perfect for families or retiree’s.
- It’s got all the basics you need! Corner shops, doctors, cafes, fish and chips, a chemist, a club and a pub, plus some the best fishing and swimming in the Illawarra. Plus just a short drive to major shopping centres.
- A small, friendly community. Windang’s sleepy old fishing village feel, is morphing into a family friendly choice with access to the stunning Illawarra lifestyle. The Windang Primary School has around 130 students. Klayten explained his daughter had more one-on-one time with teaching staff. They benefitted from a close knit, supportive community.
- No train station. But bus services are available and it’s only a short drive from The Gong, Warrawong (major shopping hub) and Shellharbour. Closest train stations are Port Kembla and Oak Flats.
- An affordable Illawarra Suburb. Windang has a lower median house price compared to other Wollongong suburbs.
Windang in summary – a hidden gem, affordable, waterside living in a small friendly community.
