"Close to city, but noisy and crowded"
The suburb is close to the city, only 15min train, and is a mayor train stop. Lots of places to eat, shop, a few parks around. Is Not Pet friendly, people seem to be scared about walking your dog, and all parks have the leash sign. The suburb has a Big asian, indian and lebanese comunity, and they seem to have a problem with dogs. Is a nice place to live, but because of the train and for being under a flying path, it can be very noisy. Also there are lots and lots of adolescents smoking trying to look cool, therefore sometimes walking on the footpath can be challenging. There are 6 building developments at the moment, so they are trying to make the area bigger, which means more population (one of the new buildings will have 20 floors!) but same streets. The flats and houses are very expensive, so you wont get any good return so I wont consider it for investment. Most of the new flats were sold to chinese that came as tourists. I would only buy if I can afford a house a few blocks from the train and not too close to Parramatta road. Any restaurant charges 25 bucks for a pizza or burger. The best thing of this suburb is the shopping mall and supermarkets open until late, and the proximity to the city, but is likely that it will become another overcrowded Waterloo.
