Stanhope Gardens, NSW 2768

Since Coles has joined Aldi in having lockable food trolleys , to be returned to trolley stations around Stahope Village carport, a lack of coordination and good commun sense from these two big shops .
Today I watched a food trolley bay banked up to the middle of the road near Australia Post and Aldi shops blocking one car lane. Please management do something about
this clear non sense before someone gets hurt!

A pleasant suburb to live in especially for families with children. It has a bit of everything - schools, shops, parks, green streetscape, nice blocks and nice (newer) homes, convenient public transport, and a family feel. Go to Connor Greasby park on any given day and you'd see kids playing on playground, playing basketball, soccer, cricket etc. Many parks and playgrounds walkable from most parts of the suburb (we have 5 playgrounds within 800m). Houses are large (but not monstrous constructions that swallow the land), well-maintained, with nice gardens offering a green and leafy feel to the area. Most homes are no older than 20 years old, and many are kept well-maintained and updated. A few newer homes built in last 3 years as well. Homes that are walking distance to metro are being priced higher since the new metro going in, as they're probably attracting those who regularly commute to city (about 1 hour door to door to the CBD) but still want a nice house to head home to.

I have lived Stanhope Gardens over 20 years, and seen this quaint suburb progress slowly. It now has close access to the metro railway (although not walking distance ) and you have access to bus Tways. It has alot of open spaces, softball fields and parkland areas for little ones to ride bikes or dog walking. The local shopping centre is sufficient but carpark struggles with congestion . It has Kmart , Coles and Aldi big draw cards and by car you are 15 mins drive to Rouse Hill town centre. One problem is Stanhope Gardens is based/designed around one very dangerous busy road Stanhope Parkway. Notorious for pedestrian and car accidents. We live off this road and believe it needs policing . Also Stanhope Gardens doesn't actually have it's own primary or high school. Be prepared to travel out of suburb and fight morning and afternoon traffic to get there. Our primary school we selected offers no suitable buses. It also doesn't have it's own petrol station , so you also need to be prepared to drive out of suburb. I feel Stanhope gardens has potential, but still lacking infrastructure and major drawcards.

Convenience of shopping centres and other ammenities.
Quiet, green and a beautifully designed suburb

Stanhope Gardens is a lovely place to call home, it has a great sense of welcome. Close to a wide choice of schools. The shopkeepers and locals at the Stanhope Village Shopping Centre are helpful and friendly as well as the nearby Aquatic Centre. Friendly faces at 'Top Juice' and their amazing Acai breakfast ideas, chocolate strawberries and smoothies and many more specialty shops. Local Tennis courts across the road at the Blacktown Leisure Centre. Court hire is $10/hour day/night. Softball and more... Close to the metro line for access for work or going out and about.

It is a great place to call home. Located near the Kellyville metro station, has a nice decent size shopping centre, right next to the Blacktown Leisure Centre. In terms of Crime rate, it is ranked one of the lowest suburb in the greater Sydney region. Because this suburb is fairly new, the scenery is sublime. The only drawback is too far from the beach.

Very convenient suburb.

I have lived in Stanhope Gardens now nearly 13 years. Out of the dozen or so places I have lived in Sydney over the last 55 years, this is a dream place. No crime, no ratbags, no noise, just wonderful people. Doctors abound-Dentist too, and shopping that you can get everything you just about need. If your smart (you go early to shop). Avoid maybe the only small drawback, a very busy car park. Buses to take you to Blacktown, or one of many other places nearby. Yes, even buses on weekdays to the City. It is very well lined with trees and more trees. A sports center that is always busy, swimming pools...Great tennis courts, Library, and even a Church service in the center's special area of a Sunday. Coffee shops, hairdressers...and a K-Mart. Stanhope Gardens is relaxed, very well mannered people all over the place, friendly and you are treated professionally wherever you shop. It also has an Aldi store too, and even though it is not some huge complex, it really is big enough believe me. You could stay in Stanhope Gardens for weeks and not have to venture out I would say for most people. It is next to another area called the Ponds, and that too is just a lovely place to live. Most of the homes are two storey and 2018 prices are around the $850,000 mark. Some do go over 1.1 million, and you can also rent if you wish too...$600 plus per week. It is a fine jewel, and really you could even walk to Parklea Markets if you are slightly fit. (Open Fri/Sat/Sun). You certainly will never come across burnt-out cars in this area, it won't happen. Screaming yahoos of Friday or Saturday night...While I am not fond of being out anywhere on foot at night, I would say you would be fairly safe here. It's also not for the sloppy -beer drinkin-thong-brigade! While you can wear thongs, non of the other is ever seen. Of course, you only get what you pay for, but as one of Sydney's best-kept secrets, it wins hands down for a very convenient life in Sydney's west. I would give it a 9 out of 10.......because it is that good!

We are first home buyers. Before buying our first home in Stanhope Gardens, we did a lot of research for about 5 months.
We went through a lot of facts, numbers and research.

Finally, when we visited a house in Stanhope gardens, we completely fell in love with place nd community.

Its a mixed community, not dominant by one culture.... Everyone is friendly and caring. A lot of families live here which is great part.
The suburb is close to 2 really good schools, a small mall. Coles nd woolies both 2 min. drive away.

Then u have Parkley market for all the fresh groceries and small shopping.

Also, there is upcoming Bella Vista and Kellyvillle metro stations (most advanced trainline system in Australia, with train every 4 minutes) coming up just 5 min drive away... Which will open a whole lot of commute options...

Suburb is 10 min drive away from norwest business Park. Possibly my future office...

Everything u need is few minutes away, but still not crowded or buzzling as some of other suburbs.

Please keep it same...
Thanks

School: St John XXIII - Preschool to yr 6 & St Mark Yr 7-12. I know Preschool to yr 6 is a good school.
A lots of parks, walk/bicycle path, playground, basketball courts.
Professional lives in the area.
Nearby shops & dining: Stanhope Village, Parklea Market, Rouse Hill town centre, Ettamogah pub
Sports: Stanhope Leisure Centre with swimming pool, gym, tennis courts.
Library: Denis Johnson Library .
Transport to City, Parramatta, Macquarie, - Hills buses with dedicated bus lane - 70%, takes around 1-1.2 hrs to the city. I am expecting the travel time to improve once M2 North Connex project finishes in 2019. - North West Rail Link would hopefully be operational by early 2019, this would give another option to commute to work.

A great place to live and raise a family. I have been living in this suburb since 2006. And I think it will only get better.

This suburb is excellent in the fact that is very close to great amenities - Great schools, shops and transport. The best thing I have found is being so close to Rouse Hill & the Hills Region (Castle Hill etc) however on the other side of Stanhope Gardens are suburbs that aren't as highly regarded so there are good and bad parts of this area. It is, after all still a Blacktown suburb and does have its pockets of crime and (sorry) scary people. It has become what I would say is over priced in recent years also, but that does make the resale value 5 stars because of this growth. You get a mixture of people here - some really friendly, and others not so. I live in a quiet section in a friendly street and have found the area to be quite child & framily friendly which is a real plus.

One of the best suburbs in the Hills region.

Stanhope Gardens is a five star destination.

The area is well supported for entertainment with cinemas at Rouse Hill, great eateries at both shopping centres and of course the Ettamogah Pub.
The area is friendly and safe.
I highly recommend you come and have a look.

I have lived in the area for 8.5 years and have watched the suburb expand with the introduction of the leisure centre, shopping centres (Stanhope & Rouse Hill), public & private schools and the new T-way.
This area is great for young families as the homes are relatively large with smaller blocks (easy to maintain) and the parks and bike tracks well make up for any loss in yard size.
The schools are well presented and whilst my children attend the catholic school, I have only heard good reports from both primary schools.

We love Stanhope Gardens!!! We love our custom modern house and garden, our neighbours, the clubhouse facilities (bbq, pool, tennis courts), choice of parks, cycle ways, recycled water and award winning estate design.

We bought land here in 2003....and since then, we have seen this area explode! Stanhope Village Shopping Centre has grown - Coles, Kmart, specialty shops....including fantastic hairdressers (The Hair Bar).

The opening of Rouse Hill Town Centre has been a major bonus for this area - including cinemas. The outdoor indoor shopping is like no other. We can't bear being in stuffy air conditioned shopping centres anymore.

The T-way is awesome, I used to catch a bus to Parramatta - 35mins in peak hour. Commuting to the city would be a bit different, I have heard catching the bus to Wynyard takes 1-1.5hrs. Or you could take a bus to Westmead Station.

Norwest Business Park provides great employment. My husband works at Woolworths Head Office, and often comes home for lunch and visits us at home.

My daughter attends Kellyville Ridge Public School. The teachers, the school, and the community of parents are all fantastic. She loves it there.

What are you waiting for?

I've lived in this area for about five years, and have seen the neighbourhood grow. All in all, a great suburb if you don't mind the commute, and prefer to stay away from the hustle bustle in a nice open area. Here's why (in no particular order):
1. The Rouse Hill Town Center and Castle Hill Towers are both close by, as is an ALDI store.
2. The school precient has a public primary school, a private school and a playschool all meters from each other.
3. The medical center is open 7 days a week.
4. I love the neighbourhood Chinese restaurant; there're also good Thai, Indian and Italian restaurants in the shopping village.
5. The walkway is great for evening jogs or a stroll with the dogs.
6. The neighbourhood is quite, green and safe.
7. There's recycled water and gas in this eco-friendly neighbourhood.
8. It is well connected to the city during peak hours (buses every 10-12 minutes, takes about an hour one way) and to Parramatta during the day (about 40 mins).

This suburb is probably one of the best project home suburbs I've visited. The leisure centre that is in this suburb is great, has a good pool and gym.

The houses tend to be on small blocks. The streets have been planned quite well.
