Since Parramatta became a CBD, I decided to move close to it by buying an old property and knockdown rebuild. My first preference was Westmead but it was ridiculously hard to find a house in Westmead and prices were very expensive so Wentworthville was my second choice as it was very close to everything plus the train station. Before moving to Wentworthville I lived in the Hills shire for almost 10 years, so moving here I wasn't sure what to expect and was very concerned about the safety. But now it has been 2 years since the move and haven't had any issues and feel we feel very safe. The neighbours and the demography is changing at a very fast rate with lots of knock down rebuild and the future town center upgrade will definitely change the outlook of this Suburb. I think being 3 minutes on train from Sydney's second CBD and couple of minutes drive from the Australia's largest Westmead hospital and health campus is a big luxury that not many other suburbs have.
The downside - The suburb is not green enough, the cumberland council has done nothing to date to make the place green ( except on paper - wasting their Public funds and time on planning several proposals to make the place green but none has been implemented). Also most of the current demography in the area are not wealthy enough to spend on landscaping which makes the area look dry.
