Reviews of Ingleburn, NSW
"Ingleburn is a rough diamond on the up and only getting better"
Years ago I would of frowned at this suburb, 10 years later I am impressed by the change for the better.
The housing Commission is all but gone, the roads and infrastructure is excellent and there is plenty of community spirit as the pelople who grew up here can afford to stay, there are not many suburbs this is acheivable.
The restaurants offer affordable dining are are plentiful and lots of choice, chinese, indian, thai, italian as well as your your junk food outlets, a big supermarket complex in ingleburn itself and your big choice macarthur square ( equivilant to westfields) 10 minutes away in Campbelltown.
The crime rate has dropped as the majority of people living there now all own (paying off) their own homes, you can buy brick houses for around $260- $300k which makes mortage repayments cheaper than renting.
Plenty of work in the actual suburb itself and near by Campbelltown, good sporting grounds and the kids in the area actually go outside and play sport on weekends, Mums and dads go and watch and they know each other as most have grown up in the area.
Because the housing is affordable, mortgage repossessions are actually one of the lowest in Sydney which surprised me ay first but it makes sense when you think about it as people will always need a place to live and if it cheaper than renting then it makes a lot of sense.
The parks and play grounds are spacious and there is plenty of them, some of the run down shopping centres are improving by leaps and bounds now that the housing commission is gone.
The schools are still not good though, and the locals need to be proactive with this and get on the backs of Council and local government, the Parents need to take more time to be a more active presence in the schools to make sure things are being done for the better, bullying needs to be addressed as does truency which is still higher than a lot of areas in Sydney.
Overall, pick a good street and take the time to get to know the neighbours as they are very friendly and I was pleasantly surprised by the community spirit and the genuine down to earth attitude of the locals.
Great for young families, people who like a bit of country lifestyle spirit, retirees and people who want to be able to afford to stay where they grew up.
Ingleburn, the rough diamond starting to shine.

"Ingleburn"
Ingleburn is a well-established suburb in Sydney’s south-west known for its strong transport links, family-friendly amenities and affordability relative to surrounding areas. The suburb benefits from Ingleburn train station on the T8 Airport line, providing convenient access to the CBD, while the M5 and M7 motorways make commuting easy for drivers. Local parks, schools, shops and the Ingleburn village centre add everyday convenience. From an investment perspective, houses tend to attract consistent family tenant demand, while units and villas appeal to singles & young couples. With employment hubs nearby and ongoing growth across South-West Sydney, Ingleburn continues to offer steady rental demand and solid long-term fundamentals.

"Great outer suburb on the rise"
Ingleburn is very well connected to Hume freeway, express railway, close by amminities and there is literally no reason to leave the subrub unless if you wanna go to the beach or work.
However, you have to be mindful of which pocket in Ingelburn to live in, some pockets are quite nice and peaceful. These are generally the ones built in the late 1980+. Some older parts of Ingelburn feel very shady still and don't give a good vibe

"Great place for everyone."
Have known and lived Ingleburn for sometime now, the suburb is getting better and better.
Super convenient and in a great position within the Sydney South West.
Housing is getting more expensive in the suburb.
So many great eateries, it has coles, woolworths, banks, local service shops and much more.
A-lot of green spaces and parks.
Public transport is very good.
40 minutes to Sydney CBD via train driving using M5.
25-30 minutes to the new Western Sydney airport.
8 minutes to the new Ed Square shopping centre.
Local primary and high school
A suburb which is only on the up.

"Getting expensive"
Been going to Ingleburn for 15 years. Lived there since 2019.
Great place, super convenient access to shops, schools, services, public transport, green spaces and 40 minute drive to the Sydney city.
Getting expensive and better due to rezoning, housing and apartment development.
Would recommend.

"The Perfect Blend of Convenience and Affordability for Young Families"
I recently moved to Ingleburn, and it’s exceeded my expectations! The area has everything you need—banks, a post office, diverse restaurants (Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai), plenty of cafes, a great library, and two shopping centers. Plus, with a direct train to the city every 10 minutes, it’s only a 48-minute ride to the heart of Sydney. Ingleburn is the perfect spot for young families looking for spacious living at an affordable price. Overall, I absolutely love this town!

"Decent suburb with amenties"
I have recently acquired a property situated on a tranquil, tree-lined street. The majority of my neighbours are longstanding tenants, having resided in the area for over a decade. The presence of nearby amenities such as Coles, Woolworths, cafes, banks, and a library enhances the convenience of the location. Additionally, the town centre boasts a diverse array of dining options, including Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese restaurants. In my assessment, this suburb presents an ideal locale for young families seeking a residence featuring spacious accommodations and ample outdoor space, all at an affordable price point.

"Filthy"
It’s hilarious that people are promoting this dump of a suburb. There is rubbish everywhere, overgrown grass, dumped trolleys and houses falling apart. The area looks disheveled and down right ugly. The suburb is riddled with crime and full of people who lack respect for their surroundings. This place will never get better unfortunately.
"Get used to the sirens"
An obnoxious amount of police sirens and helicopter noises at any time of the day.
"Parks galore"
This is a great place to live/visit. There are multiple park, gyms, walking tracks etc. The River basin is incredibly beautiful also.
Thanks!
