Overall, the Greystanes suburb is appealing for 2 reasons, 1) convenient to drive to the city (30mins and you're in the CBD) and 2) clean and decent in comparison to other surrounding western suburbs.

Getting around: Gipps road links Greystanes to Smithfield. Of most Greystane's streets, Gipps road is the most convenient for buses. The 804, 806, 809, 810 all run through here, easily linking you to Merrylands. Blacktown, Parramatta and as far out as Bonnyrigg. Yes, Wetherill Park Stocklands included! The T-way crosses with Gipps Road, enabling later night services as well and a maximum 12min walk to reach the furthest end of Gipps Road depending on which end you live on. Getting to the city is short and sweet, 60mins Bus (806 to Parramatta) + Train (plenty of services during peak periods). Parramatta is the nearest major city and just a 15 minute drive.

Nightlife/Social/Eating out: Once again Parramatta tops the list. Everything from bars, clubs, restaurants. Convenient by car and bus direct from Gipps Road. The city is the next best for social/night life and only a 30min drive. Taxi will cost you about $80 (i.e. 1am) and perfect if you split with a few friends!

Gipps Road: A quiet little road, generally used mostly during peak hours. Walking distance to Pemulwuy (Nelsons Ridge) shops and restaurants. Nice lake and dog park.

Highly recommended if you want the quiet suburbs life yet close to vibrant cities such as Parramatta or Sydney CBD.
