I genuinely don’t understand. Yeah cool the trains are convenient. It’s a joke it gets labelled inner west. There is no appeal to the the suburb whatsoever. It has a gross southwest suburb feel yet houses go for Bondi prices (yeah I get it, bigger blocks, but you’re in a stinking suburb).

Campsie has incredible bones. Good main strip that is currently a bit of a hole but with some new shops and a coat of paint on the apartments above them, it will end up like some of its popular close neighbouring suburbs (where apartments cost 100s of thousands more). A big issue is a lack of cafes (barely any) and restaurants that offer more than Asian food. There are three really good pubs that will become popular once the demographic shifts. Oh also has an 18 minute train to central AND is getting a metro. Sure, it’s a bit run down in spots but there are lots of professional couples and young families moving in. Most streets are very leafy and peaceful. Think of what Marrickville was like before it transformed. Campsie isn’t much different except it’s a few kms west and hasn’t gentrified yet.
