Northmead

"Brilliant location"

Northmead was once in the 1960 to 1980s a cheaper suburb with much housing commission homes on sizeable blocks of land. These homes were eventually sold off and the majority of them have been replaced with 2 story generous size homes with beautiful gardens. Northmead being close but not too close to Parramatta has seen real estate values rise sharply. This is because of the on going major commercial development of Parramatta bringing many jobs to the area. Another contributing factor to Northmead's popularity is Westmead Hospital which would rate as one of if not largest hospitals in Australia. Northmead has green corridor running along Toongabbie creek and other waterways. There are numerous bush walks in these areas which cater for abundant bird life, lizards and lots of large beautiful different species of gumtrees. Northmead is close to the centre of the greater Sydney metro area which makes travelling to the Sydney CBD or the other way to The Blue Mountains not a long journey. The down side is congested peak hour traffic on Windsor or Old Windsor Road during peak hours, you can escape it to some degree by taking back streets but you don't always save that much time wise. Community spirit is strong and it's not noted for crime. Northmead popularity will continue to grow because of it's almost village environment and it's central location.
