Have raised my family here for five years.
Love that it's a safe and family friendly suburb, and close to public transport with a thriving local shopping/community hub.
Over the last year or so, a lot of homes have sold and a new cohort of people have moved into the area.
Since then, there have been small but cumulative changes that are changing Sydenham to a less desireable suburb.
Where previously homes were well maintained, many recently sold homes now have overgrown rubbish littered front yards. There is repeated household rubbish dumping in park areas and nature verges, smashed bottles on the roadside and piles of vape cannisters and discarded takeaway containers left in parks and near the playgrounds.
Despite this, Sydenham remains a great little suburb to live and raise a family in.
