I've lived in Northbridge, Crows Nest, Balmain, Concord West to Westmead and they all have redeemable suburb qualities. I would readily return to each suburb because they all have an aspect that I enjoy - my 'home' a.k.a family.

Yes, Lalor Park is in Sydney's West (an area that has been unfairly deemed as uncultured, uneducated and undervalued). And yes, there are pockets of homes that are owned by the Department of Housing (shockingly enough, people require housing support all across Sydney from North Shore, South, East, West and Inner West) .

Lalor Park is quiet, spacious and is littered with trees. There are families that have been established in the community and have a sense of care to their homes. People watch out for their neighbours homes and hold genuine values.

Whilst the gentrification of suburbs is considered as making them 'worthy' in Sydney, it is the diversity of backgrounds and experience that actual brings value to a suburb. Does a suburb with greater median income mean increased importance or heart in it's people?

Lalor Park is a 'wait and see' suburb, much of which Balmain was 40 years ago.
