Whalan, NSW 2770

If got rid of public housing houses it would be million dollar area near station and shops.its not dangerous but it's not friendly and the people make the place it should be a great place but unless the public housing get held accountable it won't improve

Me and my boyfriend moved here 6 months ago as we bought our first house. We were a bit sceptical at the start because some of our friends didn't talk positively about this suburb. Honestly the more we spend time here, the more we love this place. Plenty parks, Westfield in 2km, the new shopping center in 3km, new sydney zoo in 10m and a lot more! Everything we need is always nearby. We live in mimika road, we have friendly neighbours and we feel safe. I hope people in the future will go through the prejudice that live around this area.

After living in the inner west suburbs all my life, I was shocked when I first when to open homes of some in the 2770 area but after living here for half a year i must say its great.

Better lifestyle enjoying the greenery and parks as well as neighbours are much friendlier and can tolerate dog barking at weird times in the night.

You can always count on someone taking your used goods if you leave it out! :p

There are a lot of negative comments going on about this suburb but I say let them prattle on. It's making it cheap for me to live here and I'm not complaining about that! In the meantime, if you're not too fussed, I reckon you could make a life for yourself here. The racing track being in proximity has its pros and cons but it's not very much different from any other suburb I've lived in to be honest!

When we bought our house in Whalan people said many things negitive about the suburb but we have found after living here so long this is a nice suburb and safe as well and please don't judge a book by its cover!!
If you are thinking to buy a affordable house with a big lot of land Whalan should comes first in your list if you are smart enough.

Long time resident and love living here.

Recently bought a house in Whalan at Malakua street, and enjoying living here.
great neighbours around make life much more easier.

Whalan is a small nice suburb. many people don't know the suburb name when you tell them.
this suburb is good for first home buyers who wants to get in the property market with limited budget.
Not very expensive looking houses around but people are good as majority of the houses are elderly or retires owner occupied.
You cant judge a suburb with out living inn and as a long time resident I found this is one of the safe suburb you can count on when you thinking of living in affordable accommodation.

No hustle bustle..its a small community of multicultural people.
Do have some government houses but I lived here for long trust me if you change your point of view for others not being stereotype or judgemental these peoples have got good heart.

Small suburb and very quiet.
Good for family with children.
