What else you need (a boat may be)!
Sydney at its best!

Leumeah primary public school is the best thing that happened to Leumeah. Easily one of the best schools in the southwest Sydney.
Nice people.
Suburb is very peaceful and it has got sublime views.
Many parks and temples nearby.
Great public transport.

Great Location!
Well kept bigger blocks and houses. Awesome Choice For Lifestyle.

Kids in Leumeah primary school usually get great marks in 5th year NAPLAN test and the score is at par with many top schools in Sydney. The school has OC classes (icing on the cake) too.
Council has its focus on Leumeah theses days as their aspirational project Leumeah Precinct (basically knockdown and rebuild new) has already started. So, houses are selling like hot cake here as it is an investment for future. Train, beaches nearby, good people, greenery and great views from Leumeah Heights😀

Location, public transport, families, people, greenery, schools, scenery, sports, no crime and future growth….that’s Leumeah for you. Living here since 10 years and it keeps on getting better.

Location, School, Transport, Sports, Lifestyle, Greenery….And Many!

I am a IT professional and my family have been living here for a few years. Leumeah means ‘here I rest’ and it literally lives up to it. Let me state what I feel about it.... 

Safety: It is a non-commercial homely suburb with good vibes. Very safe, quiet and family friendly suburb. Being clean and very green, you don't feel heat like Western Sydney. There are no antisocial elements here.

School: Leumeah primary public school is the best school in the area. It has OC classes (very few schools have those classes in Sydney) and kids are very studious. Young families who value the education of kids are increasingly coming here. Leumeah also has few of the top ranked selective government high schools nearby. 

Location: Beaches in the proximity (around 30 mins drive only) so it will be worth heaps in future as people are moving close to beaches these days due to ongoing pandemic. Churches and big Temples close by. Plenty of parks for kids in Leumeah and nearby (Botanical garden in Mount Annan is a stand out feature - I would suggest driving down there to see it). Established medical facilities (great GPs and dentists) and big hospitals in the area. Surrounded by lots of good suburbs. Close to Badgerys Creek International Airport (Due to complete in 2026) so naturally poised for a great future. This is one of the future growth areas identified by the government so will appreciate a lot down the line. Leumeah's relatively new area which was supposed to be called as 'Leumeah Heights' but still gets referred to as Leumeah is a great location with outstanding views.

Shopping: Good malls nearby for regular grocery shopping along with Bunnings and Costco. Short drive to MacArthur Square Shopping Center and Narellan Town Center which are few of the best malls in Sydney. They are new, huge and quite spacious to roam around. 

People: Owner occupied mostly! Friendly, multicultural and respectful, making it a best bet for buying. No housing commission here. On my street people have maintained their houses very well indicating a healthy lifestyle and culture. Lots of white collar professionals are choosing Leumeah these days to call it a home. We made great friends very quickly here as it is away from hustle and bustle and people like to talk to each other. I remember within a few days of coming here all our neighbors greeted us warmly; a gesture very rare to find these days. While I was on an overseas trip, my neighbor mowed my front yard lawn showing a great act of camaraderie and social awareness. 

Transport: Very near to highways. Having a train station is always a luxury but having no dense housing/apartments nearby the train station is icing on the cake as it makes the suburb very peaceful AND that's Leumeah for you. The station also has lots of car parking spaces allotted. People from surrounding suburbs drive to Leumeah to park the car at the station to take trains as they don't find car parking available near to their train stations. Trains remain almost empty when they start from here so you get lots of choices where to sit while traveling to Sydney CBD. Even while traveling from Central station(Sydney CBD) to Leumeah one can get many spaces to sit which is rare for other Sydney train lines. My kids love train travel so it does matter to me to have a good room. Plenty of buses in the area too taking you to train station in 4-5 mins so it is better connected. Based on my experience of living in the North and West of Sydney, I find the MacArthur region (where Leumeah is) has better and less strained public transport. For daily commuters to Sydney CBD, this suburb can't be beaten as there is a direct line to the Sydney International Airport and the Sydney City. Once, we took a direct train line to Leumeah from Circular Quay after 31st Dec show in the night (Huge rush) and that day I realized the value of direct train line as I was packed with lot of stuff and my kids were sleepy so they slept well during the travel.

Sports: Heaven for those looking for an active lifestyle. Southwest’s biggest sports stadium (Campbelltown sports stadium(football)) is in Leumeah (next to the train station). Lots of swimming pools nearby for kids to get trained. Cricket grounds in the vicinity. Leumeah has 14 tennis courts in Wests Tennis Club (a prestigious club). 24*7 Gyms can be found in the nearest malls (3 mins drive). What else do you need? 

Overall Area: Southwest (Campbelltown and Camden LGAs) has a lot of space in existing residential zones and councils plan them very well for new houses and lands too. It also has very less traffic on the roads compared to other parts of Sydney due to very good infrastructure development. Houses are spaced quite well on bigger blocks. Here, we call a block of 400 square meters as small and we don’t count 250-300 square meters as a block, it’s just a yard space for our kids to play. There is a net population increase of 48% in the last few years in the outer Southwest (In Camden and Campbelltown LGAs) while other areas in Sydney have lost the population (This claim is backed by Government's data on Councils performance). This is a clear indication of a shift in people’s mindset. These days people are becoming increasingly choosy about lifestyle, good facilities, bigger blocks and houses, great public transport, less traffic on the roads, peacefulness, multicultural society and no antisocial elements. Southwest provides the best balance of all.

Verdict: Overall, Leumeah serves equally good for first home buyers as well as for a rental investment (vacancy rate is almost 0). Move in while you can! Or you would regret later, believe me.

We moved here few years back and won't go anywhere else now.
Few observations:
Family friendly neighborhood, plenty of open spaces, parks for kids, etc.
Leumeah primary public school is the best (google it to believe it) in the Campbelltown LGA so good for young kids.
Nearest beach (Most scenic Bulli beach) is 40 min drive from here(what else you need).
Houses are built on big blocks of land so you are entering in a lifestyle suburb.
Leumeah has its own train station which has a direct line to Sydney international airport and a great network of buses. Google prestigious 'Leumeah precinct' project to understand the future potential of the suburb.
Great for clubbing (West League Club and Tennis Courts are in Leumeah).
Equidistant access to malls of Minto and Campbelltown so excellent for shopping, recreation, gyms and eating out.
