I can tell you in detail about this suburb with authority having lived here for so long.

When I first moved in back in 2008, the suburb was a big improvement on my previous location of Fairfield (not really a compliment, or a place that's hard to top...)
and I relished how quiet the suburb was, the lack of noise & how it had more trees.

It still had a lot missing, but I was much happier in Pendle Hill in comparison to other suburbs in Western Sydney that were a lot worse at that time. (the time is important to note as the suburb has changed after 5-7 years or so quite dramatically)

I can understand the positive reviews from a few years ago, but the place gets worse every year, and needs constant council workers to keep it clean & police regularly have to visit the rental blocks.

The people constantly leave litter on the streets, and the main streets are filthy--even after rigorous council cleaning.
The rubbish & lack of care for the environment is not even the worse part.--so if being surrounded by people who literally throw rubbish around your home isn't bad enough, please read on about safety.

A lady living in my block was attacked by four men. I have personally been followed a number of times, and other women living there report being followed in cars at night. It's not a rare thing here, and it's a place you will never feel safe or secure in as a female.
Most have moved, or planning to move. The reason for so many "for lease" signs around the suburb is because of the amount of people literally fed up with the place & leaving for greener pastures.

It's not a safe place for women, and most of the people living there are 30-something year old men.

The only nice parts of town is near a small part near the shops, where there is a playground where families play with their kids during daylight hours. That is quite sweet, but even then the part is only a few meters wide, so these decent folk have only a very limited grass space to work with.
The other compliment would be the fact there are plenty of buses & trains for you to escape in.

However literally a street away from this happy & idyllic scene, you can find people spitting on the ground, staring blatantly at women, and throwing rubbish everywhere.

It's truly not the type of place I'd recommend, even if you are broke, there are poor areas that are miles above this place.
Look elsewhere for a place with a better community of respectful & cleaner inhabitants.
