Burwood, NSW 2134

I've lived in burwood for over 20 years and it has gone from strength to strength. Literally everything I need and want is within walking distance and there are multiple options for everything from food to beauty to healthcare. Extremely safe with a bustling nightlife in Burwood Chinatown we also have a Westfields and burwood plaza. It's really buzzing in the cbd otherwise you can live in the residential side closer to Strathfield and Enfield and still only be a short stroll away from the action and multiple transport options to get you to the city in under 15 minutes. .

Everything you need and want is within a 15 minute walk. Well connected transport links including trains buses and metro often with frequent express services. Great food and amenities. Two Commonwealth banks, two Woolworths, three chemist warehouses. Amazing nightlife. Close some of the best public and private schools in Sydney. It's just an extremely well serviced suburb.

The problem with living in Burwood is that the council has decided to be the CBD of the Inner West. Which means jacking up density no matter what. Still some nice pockets around the edges, but the centre is full of shoddy blocks and will only get more. Traffic jams and rubbish aside, the rapid rate of change also means you don't know what your street or neighbours will be like in a couple of years - standlone houses today, highrise boarding house next month.

Chose a location on Meryla street based on the quiet state of the apartment during the day but how things have changed.

Going to be before 12am is impossible every Friday and Saturday night due to Skyebar blasting music non-stop. If sleeping in is your thing, this also can't be done because of loud trucks around Burwood road every morning.

To make matters worst a covid testing clinic opened up on the street with loud staff that arrive at around 6am to do nothing but have loud conversations prior to it opening up at 8am.

I'm sure other areas around Burwood are nice...just avoid anywhere near Skyebar...

Burwood is being destroyed by over development. The construction doesn't stop here. And soon there will be as it claims 'Burwood's tallest apartment' right next to Westfield to add even more people and traffic to already full footpaths and roads that can't cope. Even the people that live in these apartments say there's too many now and they don't want any more of them.

Such a good suburb and it's safer than places you'd normally find within the Western Sydney Region

There used to be more diversity in stores and people living here, and less high rise buildings. Now there’s so many new apartment blocks! It’s become so overpriced and so densely populated! Croydon, in my opinion, is a nicer suburb, quieter and more leafy.

Very convenient suburb- 10-12 minute ride to the City, and has many express trains. Can be packed during peak hour. There’s also a westfield in Burwood, as well as buses to the East and south and trains to the north and west.

Restaurants and stores close very late at night around 10pm, so it’s quite safe to walk along the Main Street at night as it is well lit. Feels like a Chinese city.

Schools are also pretty good around the area, with a selection of private and public schools within 10 minute drive.

It's got a Westfield AND a lively mains street with all four Big Four banks. It's got a well-connected train station and lots of buses. It's got two arterial roads at the northern and southern ends. It's got a really nice big park (Burwood Park) and little green spaces here and there. It's got some of the best schools in Sydney. In terms of physical specs, Burwood is a really great suburb to live - no wonder that it's attracting a huge amount of apartment developments, and the beautiful Federation houses further from the centre command ridiculous price tags. But Burwood is so hectic - the main streets are crammed full of people at all hours, the roads are full of cars and buses. The mains street is full of tiny stores with garishly loud posters that adds to the hectic atmosphere and also speak to its increasingly monocultural character. You will find 20 restaurants serving Ma La Tang - individual food morsels boiled in a spicy Chinese broth, a relatively recent invention in mainland China - before you find a single restaurant serving even a different kind of Asian food. If Chatswood is Hong Kong, then Burwood is its sister city somewhere in an interior Chinese province. This has gotten worse dramatically in the last few years, and it's only likely to get even worse as new high rises attract more students and recent arrivals. It's great if you love Ma La Tang. If not, do you really want to pay what you have to pay to live here?

Burwood is located quite conveniently, just adjacent to Strathfield with its bustling restaurants and having express trains run through its station. While Burwood is no doubt rich in amenities what with the Westfield, the very pleasant atmosphere of the park and top notch schools performing highly in the education sector, the population density is high. Thus, there will be considerable noise pollution, which can anger the most sensitive of people. Nonetheless, Burwood is a highly safe and secure environment to reside with remarkably low crime rates, taking into consideration its prominence as a city centre. It is additionally not all too far from encapsulating waterside views, with Canada Bay just bordering it to the north. Moreover, all of its neighbouring suburbs are reputable to some standard, being very family oriented. Burwood manages to broaden the horizon that looked bleak for residential inner west.

Buwood has everything such as burwood park, Westfield, station,great school..
I can't move out any other suburb but it's so expensive for renting..
But it's worth for it!
