Girraween, NSW 2145

Lived in Girraween for over 10 years and have found it to be a great, family friendly suburb. There are plenty of small parks around the area. The closest station Pendle Hill has a mainly Indian demographic, and generally feels quite safe. The station street may be a little dirty sometimes but is really no different from other similar sized stations. Only bad experience was someone doing a burnout on my street who swore at my mother when she came out to see (even good areas have one bad apple).

We moved to this suburb for good school. In addition , it has good neighborhood and greenery.

Girraween is sought after suburb to the community for its best schools both primary and secondary, close proximity to Parramatta and Blacktown for shopping, education, work and entertainment needs of an individual and families . Train stations and shops at both Toongabbie and Pendle hill suburb are nearby and plenty of parkings are available . Apart from these ,its safe for families. Lots of parks both small, and large for sports , recreation and play. Very homey and convenient suburb.

I have moved in this suburb about 14 years before. I have seen and lived with changing needs of my family. My boys grown from being young school going to now working men. I am still enjoying my life as senior as there is lot to do or choose to be otherwise. Good popular gardens like Civic park or place to be peaceful like Girraween Park. School like Girraween Public, Girraween High or Choice from secondary schools with in 10KM. Shopping center small like Pendle hill local shopping or medium less crowed like Seven hills or choice can be large and extra large like Blacktown shopping center or Parramatta Westfield. Train stations upgraded recently have extra fast train in early morning or change over at Westmead for fast train to city. You ask for it and you have it. Medical Hospital to choose from Westmead to Blacktown. It offers not only the choices for now but all life style. Not for night life or night out.

I have been living in this area since last couple of years and I am quite happy with my decision of buying the house off the plan in the area, prices are trending up, excellent schools for kids, close to all major motorways, having local shopping center at Toongabie, close to Parramatta westfield or Blacktown westpoint and still you are away from traffic and nested with beautiful parks, foxhill golf club for golf lovers, safe and sound area, multi cultural area with superb childcare facilities with lot of choice, swimming school in area, close to both train stations Pendle hill & Toongabie and what not? Excellent area for families..:)

I have been living in Girraween for last 5 yeras and really impressed with the suburb. It is surrounded by the schools and grounds. Girraween Rd, Gilba Rd, Oramzi Rd & Tungarra Rd are best to live, less traffic and nice peace, quiet streets... Close to both Toongabbie & Pendle hill stations..

A quiet suburb that gets confused with Kirrawee in the South. Most people haven't heard of it, unless you're obsessed with getting into the selective high school. More in demand and better resale value for this reason. Close to Toongabbie railway station, as well as a bus route through the suburb. New Woolwoths opened in the local shops, good takeways and pub nearby. Close to M4, M2 and M7 which means you are never too far from anywhere. 10 minutes to Westmead or Blacktown Hospitals, as well as good medical centres close by. 10 mintues also to Parramatta Westfield, Westpoint Blacktown or Winston Hills shopping centre. Spoilt for choice, a great suburb to live.

Pros : What a family needs , Good atmosphere to live , good school for the kids , easy access to transportation ( two railway stations in the proximity) M2 and great western highway . At the same time away from heavy traffic. Pendle hill and Toongabie local shops , Woolworth and Aldi nearby .Properties are reasonably priced and the trend is upwards.

Cons : None for longer term view .

Girraween is a suburb that is very popular with migrant families who are keen to send their children to the famous selective high school - Girraween High School. Many students travel far and wide just to attend this high school. At the same time, the local primary school matches its local high school and has a band to ensure the kids in the area have plenty of opportunities to further their interests. The scenery here is very much Western Sydney residential suburbia with many houses on good sized plots of land. All the roads are very new and there is not much development here. Given that you will notice much more blue sky on a sunny day rather than have it obscured by apartment blocks. The closest mall is Parramatta Westfield.
