Reviews of Rooty Hill, NSW

26th June 2025

"A peaceful community that’s perfect for young families"

After moving from Canterbury-Bankstown, I’m very pleased with our decision to live in Rooty Hill. The suburb feels peaceful and spacious, with plenty of parks and green spaces for the family to enjoy. We chose Rooty Hill for its safe, calm environment—ideal for bringing up our young children. Both of our children have had a positive experience at the local primary school, and walking around the neighbourhood feels safe and comfortable.

Getting to the city is straightforward with frequent trains from Rooty Hill station, and the new commuter car park makes parking very convenient. For those who drive, easy access to the M7 motorway is a plus. With friendly neighbours and good transport links alongside shops, Rooty Hill offers the perfect balance between suburban tranquillity and city convenience for families seeking a relaxed lifestyle.

"First home buyer"

First home buyer here. Was a little reluctant to buy in Rooty Hill as I’m not initially from the West, but best choice we have made. Kids have settled in well and have quickly made friends. Such lovely locals and community feel! Convenient location to shops (in surrounding suburbs or even Parramatta, Penrith and Macquarie) and transport is so easy (my train to CBD is 45 minutes or quick access to M4 and M7 if you need to drive).

"Stay away as far as possible"

The station is NOT safe. This is one of the most unsafe suburbs in the world. Dont step near.

"Worst two years in my life"

"Worst suburb in western Sydney"

Got robbed few times. Low income junkies. If you really want to buy don’t believe me just rent and see for few months.people spitting at pedestrians. Not suitable for families with kids. Mt druitt is just next and all the junkies come to the skate park
