"Suburb with no character"
Suffocating suburb with back to back builds. Lot of shady real estate agents operate in this suburb who should be reported to fair works. Substandard apartment sized duplexes are asking for millions. Shrewd homeowners combined with untrustworthy real estate agents are a big red flag and say a lot about this suburb.
"This is it!"
This is it! Schofields is a great growing suburb with newish homes, streets, great transport, schools and the list goes on. All the positives you are looking for in a family type suburb, you can find it here. Only down side is distance…but distance is a relative thing – it depends on where you need to get to. Even if you stay in a place like Marrickville, travelling to Parramatta or Macquarie Park is not smooth sailing whereas to get to those places from Schofields is fine.

"Good suburb for growing family"
Very convenient public transport to Metro and Station, save a lot of time for commuting to office by car. Very new schools and small class with exceptional care of teacher. Woolworth and Schofields village serve everyday need. Friendly community, most growing family

"Alright"
Schofields is full of new development houses & few apartment complexes. I've lived here for 3years now & people who live here are mostly families. There's one school here, so many kindergartens but no vacancies witch really sucks. There's no decent parks here for kids to play & still lots of development going on everywhere. We've got Schofields village opening up soon, witch coles & other small cafes witch is great because right now we only have about 2 cafes in here. There's also woolworths & train station next to it. We really need more footpaths in the area as well.

Agree with many child care centres but no vacancies. But I don't agree with just one school and decent park. Among many new parks, Altrove Hilltop park is a decent one with lots of activities for kids and necessary amenities. They are adding exercise area which is almost finished. Schofields village centre is now open and is very exciting.

"Growing like a beast"
When I bought the property back in 2017 it was all under construction but after living here for more than a year it has changed to a well developed suburb. Close to metro, new shopping village coming soon, school already commenced and future plan of metro meeting at railway station and to St Mary will help it grow further. More importantly people here are kind and supportive which reflect with smiling faces passes by and will say Hi when out and about.

"Fantastic suburb developing well for the future"
With the metro connecting to the city as well as the existing Schofields station, this suburb has alot to offer. Once the metro connects from St Marys to the upcoming Western Sydney Airport, this suburb will grow even further. There are also the confirmed plans for Rouse Hill Hospital, and an abundance of shopping centres and amenities. Plenty of parks and a new town centre make this suburb appealing for families.

in the meantime we wait for it to grow..
Yes, there is so much opportunity for growth. The ripple effect from our neighbours in Rouse Hill and The Ponds will definitely push prices upwards. It's just a matter of time. We are already seeing a pretty big increase from 2021 in the housing prices.
"North-West suburb"
Most reasonably priced suburb in North-West, though prices have increased by 80% overall in the last 5 to 7 years. And it’s on the rise
Access to Schofields station, Tallawong station, Rouse Hill Town Centre, Schofields village centre, 1 new & 1 re-constructed primary schools (with good ratings), upcoming sports field and one of the finest cafe in the 10 kms radius just happens to be here.
Get in while you can !

"Great suburb and very well underrated"
I have lived in Schofields for 3 years and the neighbourhood is great. The area could probably do a few extra playground but due to its quiet neighbourhood, I don’t have to be too overprotective of my kids playing in the front yard. The suburb is clean and everything is under 5 minutes drive from shopping centres, station, playground and schools. The council still has more development for the suburb so I’m looking forward to what’s in store. I highly recommend living here!

Bitter much? I have lived in Schofields for nearly 8 years. It is an amazing, family friendly environment for which I am grateful. "Shrewd homeowners", "Shady real estate agents" - you do realise you are describing most home owners and ALL realtors, don't you?! Nothing wrong in a homeowner being smart about how they manage their large assets. Who wouldn't!
