Reviews of Kingswood, NSW

22nd November 2024

"Good quiet suburb"

While it may not be the most glamorous suburb, it has plenty to offer for those looking for affordability and practicality in their living environment. All in all you get good value for what you pay considering how expensive Sydney real estate is. It has easy access to Sydney CBD via train link. But train journeys can be long considering the distance. Its close to hospital and WSU. Safety can be a concern in certain pockets around the train station. But I have never faced an issue while taking late night walks from station to my place.

Find real estate agents in Kingswood

"Very good area, a bit challenging"

You've got all the essentials you need around you. The area is quiet, and the locals are amicable. There is no nightlife, not even in Penrith. You can't find any bar (real bar, not a restaurant), any entertainment areas or such, but it's clean, green, and surrounded by educated people who are keen to talk to you like a friend. Dodgy people? Addicts? Yes, you can see them around the train station. That's not as bad as described in some reviews, but it makes you a bit uncomfortable at night walks.
I've been living in Neutral Bay, Mosman, Epping and now Kingswood. Considering the rent we're paying, I can say we're certainly having much more fun here with a different and lovely lifestyle.
Do I recommend this area? Yes, if you like family-style life and you're not looking for bars, nightlife, and showing off your expensive truck, as you will see many super expensive 4WDs here around.

"Best Primary School in the area close to everything"

I have been living in Kingswood near to the Primary School which is best in the area. You have Napean hospital TAFE and Western Sydney UNI. Transport is quite good with both bus and train option. I was very spectical looking at online reviews but we made a decision as School was on top of our priority list. It been over 2 years living here with my family and I can say with complete confidence that the area is safe.
