"Central to everything"
Bankstown is a fantastic central location, there are plenty of public transport options (many bus routes) and a train station. The major shopping centre, Bankstown central, has a huge variety of shops including a Myer, Kmart and Big W, there is also a Hoyts cinema nearby. It’s a very multicultural area and boasts some standout restaurants offering international cuisines. If you are looking for nightlife, Bankstown sports club offers plenty of restaurants and entertainment and has just opened a new rooftop bar with city views. There are also lots of schools and places of worship nearby. It is roughly 30 min drive to the city or the closest beach or even Parramatta/MacArthur regions.

"Suburb with lots of potential"
Lived in Bankstown for 5 years and has seen it improve significantly from 2011 to now. There are a lot of good infrastructure projects. General population is getting better and expect most bad people will be out of there in 5 years. Western Sydney University is building a new campus. New Hospital, the Metro will be built, more shops along Chapel Road and a new Shopping Centre has also been proposed. There are a lot of room for further improvements.
