Wentworthville, NSW 2145

None of the air pumps in the gas stations in Wentworthville work. They haven’t been working for over a month.

A lovely hidden suburb close to amenities incl. hospital, great schools (primary and high school), universities, shops and only ~30 mins to the CBD - rail or motorway. Friendly neighbours that look after each other.

It’s been great to grow up with kids with a good family night life near parramatta and great parks.

It’s safe and still affordable, but value is starting to go up. So unsure how much longer it will be afffordable for the middle class.

Personal preference is North Wentworthville on the other side of Darcy Rd, but that’s where I’ve grown up.

Dirty suburb, many social apartments, rubbish everywhere. However, good public transport and many shops nearby

Wentworthville is one of the best suburbs to live in if one is after practical living with excellent transport connectivity, lots of shopping options and close to schools and hospitals. The suburb is well established and there is a lot of greenery around in comparison to many other nearby suburbs. We contemplated a number of suburbs to buy including new ones such as Schofields, Rouse Hill side of Tallawong and Box Hill which were shiny as they are new but with narrow roads already leading to traffic congestion (hard to imagine the scene when these are fully occupied), cluttered new constructions and little or no greenery around and eventually settled for Wentworthville for all the practical aspects. Not many suburbs give one the convenience of direct trains to city with a max of 35-40 min commute, direct bus connectivity to Parramatta & Liverpool, tons of shopping options within the suburb, largest health precinct in Westmead and future Light Rail and proposed Metro in Westmead being less than 3 km away and Parramatta CBD approx 4 km away. The Wentworthville Public School is in midst of a massive upgrade expected to complete by mid of this year. There are a number of multi-cuisine restaurants near the station and in the shopping centre. Wenty Leagues is another hidden gem. Parramatta Westfield, Merrylands Stockland for shopping and Harris Park again for restaurants are within the 5km radius. With the amount of investment in Parramatta to make it the official second CBD and light rail development in Parramatta/Westmead, Wentworthville is undergoing a massive facelift with the old shopping mall on Dunmore St being replaced by multi-storey apartments with commercial space. A few other buildings are expected to follow in the next couple of years. With the Westmead metro expected in 2030, it is going to further improve the already existing train connectivity. Some of the reviews here mention 'crowded' - it is if you are in Veron or Dunmore street which is close to all the shops and the same goes for any other suburb. Also, Wentworthville is mostly multi-cultural when you look beyond the relatively new apartments in Veron street and thereabouts which are mostly rentals - we have 6 different ethnicities on our street. The one aspect it could improve on is the cleanliness with litters around the station area. Overall, Wentworthville offers great convenience of staying close to all the facilities and at the same time offers peace and quiet if you are not on the main shopping streets.

Since Parramatta became a CBD, I decided to move close to it by buying an old property and knockdown rebuild. My first preference was Westmead but it was ridiculously hard to find a house in Westmead and prices were very expensive so Wentworthville was my second choice as it was very close to everything plus the train station. Before moving to Wentworthville I lived in the Hills shire for almost 10 years, so moving here I wasn't sure what to expect and was very concerned about the safety. But now it has been 2 years since the move and haven't had any issues and feel we feel very safe. The neighbours and the demography is changing at a very fast rate with lots of knock down rebuild and the future town center upgrade will definitely change the outlook of this Suburb. I think being 3 minutes on train from Sydney's second CBD and couple of minutes drive from the Australia's largest Westmead hospital and health campus is a big luxury that not many other suburbs have.
The downside - The suburb is not green enough, the cumberland council has done nothing to date to make the place green ( except on paper - wasting their Public funds and time on planning several proposals to make the place green but none has been implemented). Also most of the current demography in the area are not wealthy enough to spend on landscaping which makes the area look dry.

I bought my unit here in 2019, bit high priced, but didn't regret as the convenience it offers out beats the money I paid. Frequent trains during busy hours, near by parks and also there is going to be a full fledged super market to be built in Dunmore street. This will be the first high rise in the neighborhood. The suburb will get a face lift after it has been revitalized by the new proposed changes. Yes it is overcrowded a bit, but we have to see what attracts people here. People complain but never leave the suburb, as they are mentally not prepared to lose the luxury. It will be a hot suburb when the situations is back to normal and people return to jobs. Then unit near public transport will get more attention. Till then as a first home buyer I will enjoy the moments I got here.

A home away from home, I do not miss my country after getting settled here.

-You have good public schools and catholic schools around
-You have great connectivity of bus and train
-You have temples and churches
-You have many supermarkets, restaurants and take always
-You have a beautiful park
So office goers, elderly people, children and homemakers can have a quality life here.

Well, it's affordable, close to really good transport options (bus interchange, train station, cycleways everywhere going to Liverpool/Rouse Hill/Parramatta etc), has a moderate level of crime but I've never felt in danger or threatened by anyone. You get bad apples in every suburb.

The drivers here are TERRIBLE. Apartments are going up on every bit of available land. And the demographic...well, let's just say they're not the cleanest bunch around and there's litter EVERYWHERE. Honestly, this demographic has absolutely zero civic responsibility or pride in their neighbourhood, and if it's easier to dump their rubbish on the street instead of walking 3 meters to a bin they'll do it. If you live anywhere near a shopping centre/supermarket don't expect a good night's sleep. The local supermarket complex near the highway is busy nearly 24/7 with loud cars, steroes, bogans and people from a certain region associated with Bollywood who seem to have an in-built volume setting of 11. Seriously - loud talking, screaming children, noisy neighbours from this demographic have made our lives nearly unbearable.

Use this suburb as an entry to get onto the property ladder. Buy a cheap unit but don't expect any capital growth. Stay here for a couple of years until you're ready to upgrade and then get out.

Wentworthville is a great suburb that is close to friendly activities, like Wet'n'Wild and Parramatta Park. It has a mix of cultures, and age groups living in it, from students to families and older people. Not far to Parramatta, so great for work and study opportunities, and conveniently close to transport (it has a train station and lots of bus routes), a great place to live or invest.
