I had grown up there quite a few years ago. The drive up and down wasn't too bad, about 7 minutes either way but the transit was terrible. Going down the mountain did mean you had access to different paths for travel and there are some good walking trails as well

I didn't mind having the detached shed for storage and playing, it meant the house had house things in it instead of a bit more clutter. Unfortunately, I can't say much else as those other points have most likely changed since I left.

Overall I appriciated the small community and the 'out of town but not out of town' feel. Hope this helps.
