I have lived in my own place at Upper Kedron for 10 years , my area is more established near Selkirk Rd , houses are generally contemporary on 800 sq mtr blocks , certainly all houses are well kept and house proud , the streets are quite , we are about 12 Klm straight line to city , if you drive to city at peak you will get traffick on Kelvin Grove Road , But this is only weekdays , if heading to city on weekend it’s a leisurely drive to city sights iether iether Kelvin Grove rd or via the Gap etc, Upper Kedron is a green area part of BCC , Ferny Grove train station for city is a 5 minute drive , plenty of shops within 5 Klm to choose from , , Brookside , Arana Hills , Keperra Great Western , plenty of parks and dog options , I live next to a park walkway , never graffiti or undesirables bother coming to the area in my 10 years , as you have to drive to Upper Kedron albeit very short ,recently on news Upper Kedron was noted as one of safest ( no crime ) identified , some areas are new and the blocks are getting smaller as in everywhere so I like older established homes on bigger blocks , Ferny Grove High , And Primary are close , St Andrews Primary all seem like good schools , Samford not far away for short coffee breaks or drive out to country areas , Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast about an hour away , city drive 30 minutes , A good mix I expect of majority owners , some rentals , some pockets a number of DHA Defence Homes , I spent 20 years in the Army and have found Defence members are good neighbours , but the area has a good feel about it when travelling around , I can’t fathom some comments with a negative tone ,these comments seem to be from people who don’t live here ! I am pretty fussy on liveability and I think Upper Kedron is a great place that not to many people understand , house prices at this time mid 500 k to upper 700 k , still a good price to what they are paying to live in Western Sydney ! Great area
