I have recently moved to Granville, due affordability for size of property and close proximity to the city.

Cons:
- rubbish everywhere, Cumberland Council don’t have much of a focus on cleanliness, rubbish after bin day all over the suburbia streets, lots of people seem to dump rubbish around parks and streets and storm water overflow drains, no clean up by council
- hot, although not as hot as West West, the suburb definitely heats up in summer
- they have decommissioned the T1 express train, so commute to city stops everywhere, taking a trip from Granville to Circular Quay just under an hour

Pros
- multicultural hub with all cultures living in harmony, friendly neighbours and community members (most of the time)
- new WestConnex takes 16 minutes to drive from Granville to entry of Anzac bridge
- Food, el Jannah and many other great eateries about
- lots of parks and green spaces
- 10 minute drive to Parra

Overall I enjoy living here, with a focus from the council on cleanup of rubbish it would improve immensely, I feel there is a growth of younger professionals moving to the area, as a gay couple we are a little reserved with our relationship in public areas out of respect to majority of community but feel this is more a self conscious decision opposed to receiving hate, but not yet willing to test that theory.
