What’s it like living in Lower Mountains?

Warrimoo to Glenbrook suburbs and surrounding? Higher bushfire risks than upper mountains?
And what’s your occupation - work locally, commute to Sydney, hybrid or remote workers here?

My partner and I currently live in Katoomba. He commutes a lot around greater Sydney region for his tradie job and I have a hybrid role, commute 2-3 days to the Sydney city office by train. It’s becoming a real slog though when I do the occasional 3 office day weeks and I expect when I want to change to another hybrid job they would expect 3 days in office, no less.
So am having thoughts on selling our house and buying in lower mountains which will cut a big chunk of time on the train for office days, if I continue in the industry I’m in.

But I do love our current home, it’s peaceful, lovely neighbours and with beautiful natural surroundings. Close to main town where we attend local music and arts events.
Just seeing if others have similar experiences and what their moves were like?
