Reviews of St Marys, NSW
"A thriving area as a strategic transport hub"
St Marys, especially its town center is great by its unique location in Western Sydney that offers easy access to Penrith, Parramatta, the new Western Sydney International Airport and Bradfield city by bus, train and the Great Western Highway. When the metro to Western Sydney airport is open, it’s expected to have express train line to Parramatta CBD and Habour CBD.
Last but not least, surburb CBD is going to have a brilliant future thanks for the new metro station and the town center development driven by Penrith council.
"Very convenient and lot of parks"
Been living in St Marys CBD for two years, really love the area. Very convenient, shopping center, restauronts, bus, train station and the upcoming metro. Queen street with lot of good restauronts and coffee. Lot of car parks. Great green space with many parks as well - I just don’t understand why there are too many parks in St Marys ;)

"It’s exciting to witness all the positive changes happening to our area"
Living in St Marys has been such a positive experience, especially over the last few years. I’ve seen this suburb transform from a quiet, laid-back area into one of Western Sydney’s most exciting and strategic hubs. It’s honestly amazing to witness all the changes happening around here.
What really stands out is how St Marys is becoming a major transport hotspot. The new metro line connecting us to the Western Sydney International Airport and the future Bradfield City is a massive step forward. It puts us right at the center of everything. It’s clear St Marys is no longer just a stop on the map – it’s becoming a key part of Sydney’s future.
Location-wise, I believe St Marys sits in a unique spot that gives easy access to all Parramatta, Penrith, the new Bradfield city, the new Western Sydney International airport, and also Schofields/Tallawong when the future North South metro link is constructed. Whether it’s for work, travel, or leisure, everything’s within reach.
On top of that, there’s the St Marys Town Centre Master Plan, backed by Penrith Council, which is set to breathe even more life into the area. The new St Marys Central Park is especially exciting – finally, a beautiful open and green space for the community to enjoy, right in the heart of town. It’s going to completely change the feel of the suburb.
And of course, Queen Street is thriving. The diner scene there is genuinely great – lots of good food, friendly spots, and a lively atmosphere that makes it a great place to spend time.
All in all, St Marys is no longer the quiet suburb it used to be – it’s growing fast, full of potential, and I’m proud to call it home.

"Trouble area"
I visited there for work sometime and found police always stranding in front of train station. Good for shopping only.
"The Lawns of St Mary’s"
Lured to the area by the cheap fixer-uppers on large blocks of land. My husband and I, toured vastly across the area. We couldn’t help but notice the distinct feature of the area - the abundance of unkept lawns. Infact, the local council doesn’t mow either as not to distract from this outstanding feature. Clearly, Jim’s lawn mowing or any purveyor of lawn mowers would not survive here. If you enjoy living in the jungle, and think being house proud is severely overrated. Move here!

"Convenient!"
It's more affordable than Penrith still have most of the amenities nearby and expected to grow as the North-South new airport rail line is gonna start there.
Commuting eastward has the advantage of vicinity to M4 which is getting wider and faster even though the express train is available during the rush hours.
"Raine and Horne St Marys"
I was a tenant for 5 years, in that time it was nothing but drama - It took 2 years , calling weekly to never get a call back and contacting their regional office to get them to come back in contact with me for a list of over 12 repairs done - some of which still were not attended to when moving out !
For those renting - please please please do not go through these guys ! Save yourself the mental anguish . Partcuarly if Christine or Lorna are the property managers - I’ve never met anyOne so rude in all my life! They’d make appointments to inspect or send a repairman - no one would show up, you’d call and they will never accept fault. They never would call back when they say they would and just carried themselves very unprofessionally .
3 months of being out I only just got my bond back today . My one star is for their one star Lisa who explained to me a lot of the things I would of liked explained to me prior that my 2 property managers should of done - but the fact they didn’t doesn’t surprise me in the slightest - that would mean doing their job which between those 2 and the reception staff wouldn’t know how to do even if it counted between life and death .
And to landlords please think twice before signing up unless you want a 3rd grade real estate managing your property. Still to this day and into my old age if anyone asks me for real estate views I will always state how disgusted I am by raine and Horne St Marys .
"Colourful"
The site of probably the most homophobic rants in Australian history. Sadly, in 2017, the name of God was used by Mr Fisher to further vilify minorities here. Whilst it was certainly not the first time a minority was discriminated against here, it was certainly one of the most colourful and noteworthy.
