Campbelltown is the greater city to a large number of suburbs, many of them which are lovely and well looked after. Unfortunately there are a minority of suburbs that are undesirable, but in recent years the government have finally realised these developments were a disaster and are now trying to rectify the problems...basically knocking them down. Overall Campbelltown has a lot going for it. Compared to other areas Campbelltown has not yet become a concrete jungle and the community atmosphere is still alive with the annual Fisher's Ghost Festival. There are a number of shopping centres to choose from and on a good day you can get to the city in under an hour (ok, maybe not peak hour on the M5 car park). I do live in the area and sometimes cringe at the "yob" walking down the street, but I have seen just as bad, if not worse in more affluent areas. The schools are fine and there are lots of sporting clubs to get involved in. In recent years there has been an increase in housing for over 55's in the area. These houses are located close to amenities and public transport making it desirable for the ageing population. Although Campbelltown is not perfect, it offers great value for money. Not many areas you can get a 4br home for under 500k. Basically, don't judge a book by its cover.

I have lived in St Helens Park for 8 years and I love the area. Our neighbours are friendly and will keep an eye out when you are on holidays, you wake up in the morning to the kookaburras laughing and the kids can play with other kids on the street and feel safe. St Helens Park has a good public school, a great dog park for your furry friend, you are only 25 mins away from the beach and Macarthur Square is just down the road for all your shopping needs. Most definitely one of the best suburbs in the Campbelltown area.
