"Warrawong is a winner!"
What a great suburb is Warrawong! It is a beautiful area looking out over Lake Illawarra, the people are really friendly with a great community atmosphere. The shopping is awesome with a Westfield and a great range of shops including cinemas. It has a wonderful multicultural feel. There are great parks and beautiful places to visit along the shores of the picturesque Lake Illawarra. It's very close to Wollongong and Shellharbour. Also really close to the great beach of Port Kembla. A great place to raise kids and have a family. Highly Recommended!

Too much pollution. I went to Warrawong High and a lot of people from the area got cancer & passed away from the BHP pollution.
I live on Warrawong, I've moved here in 2012. I used to live Bronte in Sydney, so before we moved to Warrawong I did some rearch. It used to be suburb populated by steel workers and their families plus there are 2 complex of housing commisions so sometimes u have feeling that poorer people live there if u compare.to.northern.suburbs of Wollongong, but I absolutelly love this place. Great neighbours shops shools and great local comunity (mostly Macedonians, Italian, Greeks and other european.nations). also.safe to live I could say same as Bronte or Monterey where I live before. Great parks beach and lake views. I WANT STAY HERE FOREVER HAHA. ;)
Warrawong is a nice suburb to live in, close to shops and bigger ones like domayne etc..beach close by and lake, I felt safe walking at night no problems...I havent seen many junkies, you get them anywhere you go! yes you wash your car one day then the next its dirty again. The Port Kembla beach is far better than Wollongong beach.
I have lived in Warrawong for 34 and seen many changes.l have never come across any shady people.we are multicultural people here .with lots to learn from each other.Westfield became Warrawong plaza that meant a update.Now where Bunnings was ( sadly it left ) there are major changes happening.More shops a new health centre and hooray the library will be moving back nice and close.Better for those people who dont have a car.All in all Warrawong is a great place to live.Not far from the beach a beautiful lake to walk around.BH Pis no where near as bad as it was. Public transport even the buses go to the beach and local Train station.like anywhere if your looking for trouble you can find it . My children grew up in a safe environment.Played outside in the fresh air with their friends down near the foreshore.There are people of all ages..There is only one draw back.Our hospital is no longer serviced to the over growing Community.We no longer have Emergency it isnt a Public Hospital any more.Many of us apposed that but no one listened.. We have to try to find our way to Shellharbour or Wollongong. Its crazy when they dont have the capacity to serve the community and turn people away. What sense is that ?
Hi There! I am looking to move to the illawarra area in january due to getting a job there in shellharbour, I noticed your comment saying its close to both shellharbour and wollongong which is great as i wanted to be close to wollongong too for the nightlife! do u live in warrawong perminantly? would you say its a good place for a young person to live? thanks :)
