"A great place to live if you love car-dependent American suburbs"
If you love:
- dumped rubbish everywhere
- excessive abandoned trolleys
- Bogans parking over footpaths
- huge oversized lethal American-sized trucks (RAM trucks)
- being unable to walk or cycle to the local shops ever again
- circling around looking for parking among 4,000 parking spot spaces in 1 of the two huge malls where all the shops are
- nightly hoons and drag races
- modified cars blazing down the street with their loud engines at 3am
- No footpaths on some streets / suddenly ending footpaths
- endless traffic congestion due to lack of alternatives to driving
- feeling like you want to live in American style car-dystopian suburbs
Then yes, Epping is for you!

Like almost all post war suburbs it is a boring and desolate place. These outer suburbs never improve. Sunshine and St.Albans are still dumps 70 years later. I know that people want to own their house, but there are other factors to consider.
"Epping takes shape"
We moved to here about 3 years ago and discovered this best kept secret. It's the perfect location with all amenities within walking distance. The local schools are excellent. Construction of New Epping is officially underway. Residents will enjoy access to the precinct’s green spaces, medical and other services including the future Northern Private Hospital, Northern Hospital and Pacific Epping Shopping Centre.

"Great suburb"
We moved to Epping almost 2 years ago and think it's perfect for us. We are a young family and love the peace and quiet that the suburb offers. The people in Epping were welcoming and very nice. The parks are lovely and clean and the kids love going to the kinder and school for socialising with their friends. Our youngest also loves doing Ballet at the local hall. Epping provides a lot to offer for the kids in terms of netball, football, all different types of dancing, etc. We will definitely be staying in Epping.
