"The real Andrews Farm"
The Newer part of Andrews Farm is a joke! Most houses are all built on top of one another, House windows are in some cases only an arms length apart. No yards for kids to play & the few small scattered playgrounds/parks here & there in the new area,are a joke. Social problems will esculate - Everyone hearing everyone else's buisness,listening to your neighbours arguements,loud stereos & barking dogs etc etc... Where will the kids play? Not in their own backyards, cause most you could not swing a cat in!. Kids will end up in the street an cause more problems. Some rental properties are not looked after, alot of refugees & some have no idea of community living & congregate in groups.. Yep If you like living on top of one another then this is the place. You also have to listen to Dogs barking 24/7 day & night, thats the norm because Nobody gives a damn. Cars screeching around all hours,. Andrews farm has limited police prescence & grafiti is common.
Bloody gov /developmental planners need to be shot, People should not have to live like this. What has happened to the Aussie dream of a home with a backyard for kids to grow up in? Or Safe communities where people respect each other and their properties? Apart from the fact that house prices are high, the little bit of land that is allocated is not big enough for a typical Aussie backyard. The dream has finally come to an end! Forget having some grass and planting a nice big tree for shade. President Ave closer to Andrews Rd end, looks like little dog boxes all in a row. Some gutters actually touch each other, Forget trying to get to your own gutters to clean them. A fire hazard as well, because if just one of these house catch fire, it would start a chain reaction because they are so close together. Parking is a joke, streets are narrow and with limited land, visitors park on the streets which cause problems when trying to get past parked cars. Daveron Rd is an accident waiting to happen. With the huge park/water way reserve & playground having limited parking areas people park on both sides of the road and making it impossible for one car to get past let alone 2 at the same time. Council should have though a bit about this as it causes major disruptions at times. As far as the nice pavements and green grass (at the moment) this will end up just like the older part of Andrews Farm- unkept grass,trees dying,footpaths non existent & roads full of potholes. Council dont give a dam once the area is established. Newer area is an investers dream- High rental prices and lots of renters all looking for somewhere to live. Good luck
Bewitched is the same person who wrote the same comment about Royal Park. All you have changed is the suburbs and streets. Your loss.
That guy is actually right about most of it
I went to look at house tonight.. totally put off buy neighbours having cars parked over their front lawn. It looks disgusting and in most states or countries is illegal
Very negative comments from bewitched. I have lived in Andrews Farm for nearly 3 years after building a house. The blocks in my estate vary which allows choice of size of house, land etc. Barking dogs are in all streets, all suburbs, all states - you can voice your concerns about barking dogs to the Council who will work with the dog owner and local residents in solving the problem. I have walked around my area and have not seen any houses that are built close to each other (due to encumbrances) and they certainly do not have gutters touching each other. As for the screeching of cars at all hours - this is also in every suburb. If you have concerns, record the rego number of the vehicle and report it to the Police. I do agree about the Davoren Road problem near the playground area - this does have the potential to cause traffic accidents or accidents involving pedestrians - more parking is desperately needed as the area is becoming more and more popular. There are a lot of Police patrols in and around where I live. I'm not sure which area in Andrews Farm you are referring to as "newer" as there are a few developments underway or just completed. The price of housing in Andrews Farm (house and land packages) are now very affordable and most times cheaper than renting - again depending on what size block and house you would prefer. Parking on the street is a definite problem in Andrews Farm - but it does slow the traffic down! I may be one of the lucky ones as I am in walking distance of 4 parks with playgrounds, 2 bus stops almost on my doorstep and in a quiet area. I too could complain about all the little things that annoy me such as noise, traffic, dogs etc but being part of a (or any) neighbourhood involves tolerance and communication. Notify Council of problems with grass, trees, footpaths and potholes and ask them if they can give you any idea when the problems will be fixed. Overall, Andrews Farm is very similar to a lot of other areas - and it is new, so the area will change with the demands of the residents as time goes on - hopefully!!!
