"Solid and convenient suburbs with great retail and shopping outlets"
Eastwood has always been a performing suburb with all the right ingredients: great public transport, affordable asian groceries, close to universities, good schools, dining, etc...
The only risk Eastwood faces in the long term (10+ years) is if it becomes a mono asian culture which may develop asian gangs when Eastwood becomes a bigger city, just like we see in the city now... Right now it has the reputation of being semi chinese and semi Korean but the reality is there are quite a mix of people who live there... check suburb profile on link below:

I agree with Radiorobbie, Eastwood is an extremely safe and friendly suburb. Though generous with Asian groceries and restaurants, it offers a wide range of ethinicities and diverse cultures, including the very Australian annual Granny Smith Fare. It has a strong police presence and one of the detectives at the station who also happens to be my high school friend has commented on Eastwood's very low crime rate.
Where ever there is Chinese it's safe, remember this. Chinese don't create problems.
Gangs ? I feel very safe at night. It's a friendly place and I think you are writing too much fear about Eastwood. The crime rate is very low in Eastwood & we have a good & local Police Command Centre in Eastwood. Eastwood has a lot of Australians living in the area.
