Campsie, NSW 2194

Ibis infestation and the entire street is filthy. Stay away

Campsie is a great little suburb to live. The metro opening is just months away and (like other suburbs on the metro line) the property prices will rise so get in quick.
There are plenty of buses into the cbd, currently 20/30mins into the city which will be very much reduced when the metro is open.
Loads of green spaces and parks, friendly locals and a nice basic shopping centre. Close to Cole’s and woolies and if you want a big shopping centre Burwood is up the road.
The suburbs main street will be getting redeveloped (definitely needs attention) and will be lovely when it’s finished, the council has an award winning town plan which is worth checking out. Could use some more cafes but with the metro opening and the areas gentrification I see this happening just like Marrickville.
The area is nice and safe, and the council is noticeably targeting and prosecuting rubbish dumping.
Campsie has solid older brick apartments, weatherboard and federations style houses, a lot of people renovating and the area as people are seeing the potential and values of their properties increase.
Overall a good solid investment area and a nice place to live and it can only get better.

Campsie has incredible bones. Good main strip that is currently a bit of a hole but with some new shops and a coat of paint on the apartments above them, it will end up like some of its popular close neighbouring suburbs (where apartments cost 100s of thousands more). A big issue is a lack of cafes (barely any) and restaurants that offer more than Asian food. There are three really good pubs that will become popular once the demographic shifts. Oh also has an 18 minute train to central AND is getting a metro. Sure, it’s a bit run down in spots but there are lots of professional couples and young families moving in. Most streets are very leafy and peaceful. Think of what Marrickville was like before it transformed. Campsie isn’t much different except it’s a few kms west and hasn’t gentrified yet.

Campsie is easily one of the best up-and-coming suburbs in Sydney. The price of apartments especially the brick walk up buildings are still quite reasonable. The residential areas are nice and quiet, and there is a lot of activity and great restaurants on the high street towards the station. The suburb has all the general amenities including a shopping centre, train station and major hospital. The new metro station replacing the existing heavy rail will open soon so access to the city is very quick.

The suburb to be very green with a number public parks dotted around the suburb. There is also a nice walk / bike path down Cooks River which is pretty scenic and good for an after work routine.

The new apartments in Campsie are really bad. Don't buy them, look at an older apartment. The traffic in Campsie is also horrendous. On the plus side the food is great and the people are friendly.

Campsie is ultra-convenient in terms of location, and serviced well by buses/trains and the soon to be Metro. Very close to other shopping hubs such Burwood, Ashfield and Marrickville and to City. Many diverse food options as well!

Campsie is full of potential, a gentrified diverse suburb with express train, variety of eateries (food joints around Campsie are often open for long hours - some as early as 6am, you'll always find something to eat). Great for living/commuting/shopping, close proximity to Westfield Burwood & Ashfield Mall (not to mention Campsie Mall). Weekly Sunday Market stalls. Parks & ice skating rink. There are multiple routes you can choose to go to City (old Canterbury Rd, Parramatta Rd or Anzac Bridge).

Having moved back to Campsie, after yrs away "what happened "
Overcrowded, smelly, congested...
The Council has got it all wrong!
Please stop putting high rise apartments, how about a decent Shopping mall instead...Yet other areas like Bexley North are underdeveloped !

It is my go to place for food shopping. Haven't had time to really spend time there, but eating out recently there was a delight.

I've been living in Campsie for over 20 years. Overall, the transport is great and convenient with many buses and trains that can take you to many different places in Sydney and has many shops, medical centres and restaurants. However, as the population grows and more apartment blocks are built, I think it deserves a bigger and better shopping centre like Westfield or similar to that. The current Campsie Centre is too diminutive and lagging behind. If you look at similar suburbs like Burwood, Ashfield and Hurstville, they all have either Westfield or bigger and better shopping centres than ours.
