Leichhardt Street, Lalor Park, NSW 2147

Lucas Road in Seven Hills could not be called an attractive street. It’s a pretty busy through route, the properties are close to the road, and they are not very private.

The houses are a mix of old fibro cottages, seventies brick, with some modern newly built homes thrown in for good measure. There are a few trees, but it’s not especially green, and a lot of the yards are unkempt and run-down.

Still, this is an area of Sydney where you can buy houses very cheaply indeed in comparison to so many of the other suburbs. That’s one good point.

There are two schools on Lucas Rd – Seven Hills Public West, and Seven Hills Public. Both are at the Prospect Highway end – as is a childcare centre a block away.

Prospect Highway is extremely busy and there are many shops and businesses located here. The train station is some distance away, but there are buses.
Lucas Road would not be my pick of this area to live in (but nor would the area itself if I had a choice), there are far nicer streets in the locale.

But for those starting out, I guess it could offer good value for money.
