Pendle Hill

"Dirty, extremely dangerous even during the day."

I was a resident in this area (living private), and I can’t even begin to tell you the things I’ve witnessed during my two years in this suburb. First and for most, it’s a small suburb so it’s very basic in the sense you have a medical practitioner, a small Woolworths, a small bank, a great bakery I highly recommend), a pharmacy, and a small line of culturally acquired foods that stem from Sri Lanka.

The streets are filled with dirty trash, and there very minimal parking/squashed road side. The units and streets surrounding are normally very quiet.

Where to begin, well just a caution you do not want to enter this suburb. It’s full of drug addicts, prostitution, drug dealing, break ins (including the unit I resides in), I’ve had creepy men follow me inside their cars, (early evening), more then two occasions, I’ve been racially abused, I’ve had numerous times witnessed especially by the station young adults, even my age), approach me to target me and verbally abuse me to the point I’m scared to walk anywhere, I’ve been threatened (out of the blue), because you cannot look anyone in the eye in this suburb or maybe you will cross paths with someone who is not a good person and they do not care who you are because believe me they will pick their targets.

One time I even recall walking home with my work uniform, a stolen car full of young adults stopped on the side of the road next to me and the individual made threats towards me to even kill me with a knife only because I glanced towards them while they were screaming out the window possibly on substances. I was so lucky that early evening an older man passed by me so it lead these individuals to scatter. I ran home effortlessly stacking.

The other side of Penndle Hill is no better. A dirty pub with old people, a few run down open brothels, more drug crime, and a tiny 7/11 situated by the main road (where I’ve also encountered on a few occasions dangerous people in the car park).

Another downfall is the train lines are very slow as they are limited, so to reach the city it’s advised to catch an express from parramatta.

I don’t know much else to say, I was miserable and extremely bored in this suburb. The pub is really not suited for young people and it’s just to dangerous to catch the trains during the evening to to out. Even the restaurants are poor quality, and there is far better culturally inclusive foods in the CBD. There is no police station despite such high crime, the nearest police station is a ten minute drive situated one suburb down in Merrylands.)

Now im relocated in the City, in Chippendale my life has improved drastically. My mental health is better, my lifestyle, and my safety. You do not have to take my advice, I’m only a very young adult, but I don’t recommend this suburb to any single females. Or maybe even families to be honest.

I couldn’t be happier to never return to this place. Plus, it’s to pricy. Suburbs I recommend instead that are far better.
