"Best value suburb"
I think Blacktown is well undervalued for the kind of suburb it is. With access to M2, M7, M4, Great Western Highway and 3 major shopping areas (Westpoint, shopping village and Home base), things just couldnt get better. Very convenient. I think the ill-reputation that it carries does great to property buyers as they could get good value properties, however I think the ill-reputation is silly as for a big innercity like Blacktown, the crime rates are proportionately lower than many other suburbs.
***updated in 2016 ***I bought a property here in 2009 and sold it to move out to stay closer to work. Later decided to come back and bought another one. NBN is almost everywhere now and couldn't be happier with this new speed. My daughter now studies at St Patrick's Primary School and absolutely loves it.. we feel its a gem of a school with great teachers. The area seems to be getting expensive now. Blacktown hospital redeveloped has boosted the health profile and so did the recent Showground. The beautiful Nurragingy Reserve is minutes from where I live.
With show many entertainment options locally available, I challenge anyone to tell me a suburb that has it all like Blacktown does... yes except beach.

Good review, Blacktown does have a bad reputation I know but I have family that live out there and there is a real sense of community in Blacktown that other suburbs do not have despite being very far away from most things, I enjoy my visits Blacktown
