Well, it's affordable, close to really good transport options (bus interchange, train station, cycleways everywhere going to Liverpool/Rouse Hill/Parramatta etc), has a moderate level of crime but I've never felt in danger or threatened by anyone. You get bad apples in every suburb.

The drivers here are TERRIBLE. Apartments are going up on every bit of available land. And the demographic...well, let's just say they're not the cleanest bunch around and there's litter EVERYWHERE. Honestly, this demographic has absolutely zero civic responsibility or pride in their neighbourhood, and if it's easier to dump their rubbish on the street instead of walking 3 meters to a bin they'll do it. If you live anywhere near a shopping centre/supermarket don't expect a good night's sleep. The local supermarket complex near the highway is busy nearly 24/7 with loud cars, steroes, bogans and people from a certain region associated with Bollywood who seem to have an in-built volume setting of 11. Seriously - loud talking, screaming children, noisy neighbours from this demographic have made our lives nearly unbearable.

Use this suburb as an entry to get onto the property ladder. Buy a cheap unit but don't expect any capital growth. Stay here for a couple of years until you're ready to upgrade and then get out.
