Reviews of Belmore, NSW
"No longer a secret ! Belmore is now getting the attention it deserves."
It seems that people have finally caught on to one of the best kept secrets in Sydney. Belmore being only 12km from the CBD was extremely affordable but now with the metro opening next year it's finally woken to its potential. Property prices have gone through the roof but I believe it's still good value for a decent 400 to 500 sqm block in Sydney compared to other suburbs. Such a neighbourly community and so friendly and kind - I know most of the people in my street. Great food and lots of changes happening around the station it will only become more desirable because of its prime position and easy access to all parts of Sydney. it's a great place to live and raise a family.

"On the doorstep of the expensive inner west !"
I bought my home in Belmore North just south of Belfield and I love it. I'm a quick 10 minutes drive to Burwood and Strathfield CBDs. Lovely neighbours on my street who actually talk to you and I'm within walking distance of some decent restaurants including the offerings at Canterbury Leagues club. Next year I'm looking forward to the Metro opening which will surely set this suburbs home prices alight and make it a quick 25 minute train ride into the city. Belmore was previously overlooked but now I feel the suburb is finally coming into its own and definitely has a lot to offer.

"Will be unaffordable very soon"
Since couple of years, I told everyone that Belmore will be the new Burwood within the coming 10 years. It has a metro station( soon), heaps of parks, many schools, a pretty unique location, 12km to Sydney CBD, big 24h club and stadium, many eateries and very well mannered and friendly neighbourhood with high socioeconomic levels in most of its areas.
Very rare to find all these things in one suburb.
I would say confidently that it’s the best suburb to invest in the inner west as it is booming very soon.
Recommend personally buying in northern Belmore next to prestigious Belfield and Strathfield South .It has so classy and gorgeous streets in northern area with beautiful houses and mansions but of course if you could afford it.

"lots of space and suburban life"
Moved to a house here from a unit in redfern as wanted more space and a garden. Very happy with my move. I don't have a car but can walk to Belmore station in 6 minutes. Very convenient.

"Great transport, amenities and family friendly"
We purchased in Belmore after doing our research as wanted a detached house with a decent sized backyard for the kids and pets. After settling in we've come to realize what an underrated suburb it is and have come to love where we live. Whilst there are still a few rough streets near canterbury rd, Belmore is definitely changing and you can get a decent sized block which is half the price tag of something 8 mins drive away in say Burwood or Strathfield. Here's my summary:
Pros:
1. Excellent transport to Town Hall for work which will only improve with the Metro upgrade next year.
2. Village-feel shopping strip on Burwood Road run by locals
3. Multicultural community of mainly younger families and older greek/leb/asian immigrants
4.(relatively) Affordable large blocks of land around 500sqm.
5. Nice mix of period, interwar, 60's/70's homes and new duplexes.
Cons:
1. Not great for schools. Local public schools are run of the mill. Need to look at catholic schools around like All Saints and St. Ursulas for the kids.
2. Lack of a major supermarket - need to go to campsie/burwood for coles and woolies (or online delivery).
3. Football hoons that honk and drive too fast when there is a Bulldogs game at Belmore oval.
Future prospects:
1. Metro train line upgrade will be a game changer.
2. $300m upgrade of nearby Canterbury hospital
3. Local council currently repaving main shopping strip.
4. $60m upgrade of parks and facilities around Belmore Sports Ground
A lot of public money is being invested in this suburb and I feel it will only get better from here. Will be interesting to see where Belmore can go in the next 7 to 10 years from its rough working class immigrant roots. I'm excited to be a part of it !

"Affordable and convenient with upcoming metro"
Nice suburb in the midst of gentrifying. Love the shops on Burwood road. Lots of families and very multicultural. Neighbours are families mix of Greek / Chinese / Lebanese /Vietnamese. Excited about the new metro coming in which will get us into the city in 20 minutes. North Belmore (next to Belfield and Strathfield south) has lovely character homes.

"Sense of community, and great food!"
I have lived in Belmore for 6 years now and have really embraced it as home. I wave to people on the streets and in stores. The business owners are friendly, warm and good at what they do! You don’t really need to leave.
