Good for people who need fast transport to the CBD and cheap price for renting. It is relatively close to the city, with the Banksia train station in the centre of the area. But the Banksia station is not a big train interchange like Wolli Creek and Hurstville on the T4 Line, which means that the train would not be frequent during daytime. People living here are nice and like to help you when you have problems. Besides, renting here is REALLY cheaper than most of the other suburbs in the 10 km area of CBD, with only $130 - 180 per week for a single room, and $220-300 for a double or master room.

The drawback of living here would be certainly the noise. It is too close to the airport, as well as the train line, and living here would really make it hard to sleep if the window is open. Therefore please avoid living near the Railway St, or you will enjoy the the duet of plane and train noise. Another disadvantage would be that the shops are relatively less compared with other areas. If you often want to go to Coles or Woolworths, or frequently eat outside in different styles of restaurants, this area would not be suitable for you.
