Glenfield, NSW 2167

I decided to buy a house in Glenfield after spending about 4.5 years in Chippendale - a suburb close to the CBD.

What attracted me most is the strategic location of Glenfield with excellent connectivity to almost all the major business districts. Commuting to Sydney CBD wasn’t too hard far me due to the excellent train network and because of the motorway.

Glenfield is affordable, has everything in close reach that anyone need on a regular basis and it’s quite peaceful suburb. While I can have a wish list and expect more from suburb, but honestly I never regretted my decision of moving to Glenfield.

We have lived in glenfield for more 34 years and still can’t find a place with the convenience that we have at glenfield.

More restaurants would be nice as well as reductions in light pollution with street lights focused on the street with shade to prevent the light going upwards so that everyone can enjoy the amazing stars at night which we used to see 30 years ago. This also will encourage young astronomers.

Casual power house museum is just 5 mins train ride from glenfield which has a lot of events for all ages in art, music, Sydney film festival great walking paths and a great restaurant.

awesome suburb with great connection with train line. great for family..very friendly environment..

Everyone here is friendly, street is clean, the little village atmosphere makes you feel like home.
Transport is good, express train to the city during weekdays.
It's a happy wonderful place to live:) and the housing price is still affordable comparing to other areas.

Glenfield is a wonderful place to live.
Great shops, doctors schools and sporting clubs and social clubs nearby.
There are some beautiful gardens and quiet streets. You can often hear the birds singing and there is a lot of trees and flowering bushes. Many churches and great happy communities very close by and wonderful shopping centres cinemas at Liverpool Campbelltown. Also very close to Hospitals and Specialists.Lots of friendly clubs and restaurants a short drive for eating out.
It's a quick train trip to the city and great train and bus rides linking to other areas.
It's a happy country city little village atmosphere.

It's good for Train Hub, you can get direct train for City, Parramatta, and Airport.
Only few small shops but Glenquarie, Casula warehouses and Liverpool is not so far.

Everyone so friendly~ just feel like home...

I don't worry so much about restaurant/eating places, nothing beat home cooking
I see a lot of improvement in this area, specially next year, when Costco & Ikea finish their construction
Will become busy suburb, but that's fine with me, more convenience I can get...

Best place for family specially new family with young kids

We chosen this place to live because of the convenience to raising up our small children in a quite and peaceful environment. Both of our children had a good schooling experience in the primary school. Now my son studying in the reputed selective high school next door. It is only 7mts walk to this school and my younger one had only 15 mts walk to the good ranking Glenwood primary school. Walking is safe and we encounter any kind of problems so far after living here. There are few surgeries close by and a new medical center for emergencies. Dental services, physio are available in the suburb itself. Many young families with kids are living here mainly because of the affordable prices, child care centres, good public transport especially train service, and good nearby schools. Spiritual needs can also met in this suburb. We will not hear any bad words or yelling or swearing and that indicates the socio economic status of the inhabitants. It is very important when raising our children in a positive environment. The main lack of this suburb is the lack of big shopping complexes including eating out places. When we look back this suburb is developing each year with more facilities. Now we have a new multistory car park, upgraded station (before we have no lifts in the station), new estates like panorama, mirvac, glenfield circuit and parkside glenfield, new medical center etc. Roads are clean and houses and surrounding are kept clean and green. Friendly neigbours, they are resources in times of need. It is still not yer overcrowded like Liverpool so I like this place to recommend for families with kids.

Quiet and nice place to bring up a young family. Many young families in the area. Big shopping options with Costco and Ikea going up in the Crossroads Home-maker centre in the next couple of years so will get a little bit of a buzz.
