A lot of local families would tell you that Mowle Street is a safe street to live on. It is opposite the primary school so walking back from school to home is short and safe. The streets are wide and have ample parking as most residents park in their own lock up garage under ground. It's a short walk to Parramatta park and also the (former) golf course. the street is on on an incline but is easy to push uphill with a pram, with the higher end being at Hawksbury Road. There are a lot of small lot apartments, so the area is not too dense compared to other streets in Westmead. Lots of families live here so there is next to no crime.

I've lived in Westmead for many years and recently moved closer to the CBD so that I could be closer to work. The suburb is safe and it's great to see the neighbourhood kids playing together across the apartment blocks. There has been more apartments built around the hospital and Good Street ends, but I would recommend if you are looking for a spacious 2 bdr apartment in Westmead, look for the older double brick apartments south of the station. These areas are less dense and the streets are quiet with the neighbours being family orientated. The newer apartments are attractive as they are priced reasonably but will have much smaller rooms and are in densely populated areas, which can get very dirty during council pickup times. You might also experience some loud drunkards hobbling home from Westmead Tavern if you live closer to the station or north of the train lines (hospital side).
