Bexley

"Living and knowing my part of town"

Bexley is located in the St.George / Sutherland shire.
It holds a mix of anglo and non-anglo australian backgrounds.
I have lived here for over 12 years and its been a pretty good place to stay in.
My neighbours are quiet and friendly.
I havent seen alot of trouble since ive been here.
Since these years i havent noticed much disruptions to my lifestyle.

When i first moved in i noticed the airplanes coming through.
At first i didnt like it because wasnt used to it.
But i understood well its very close to the Sydney Airport.

I originally was from Earlwood (from what i remember 20 years ago-the days when no planes ever crossed that part of the skies)

But as ive seen as of late planes are running all over the place (not just Earlwood, but even Surry Hills !! and many other places) so it really isnt making too much difference.

So it seems that things do change over time.
Wont be surprised more changes when 2nd airport gets going.
But wont wait for that, things will change regarding air traffic routes (it has to - more planes etc..).
Take it from me, ive seen the changes over the last 12 years (in my surburb) as well as the
suburbs i never thought would see them crossing over.

So really dont need to pull your hair out on these issues if you know what im saying :)

Bexley's position satisfies itself with close connections to major roads and motorways that
will get you to any place you need to go.

Especially the main roads (Forest Road, Bexley Road, Stoney Creek Road) that virtually takes you straight there.

Bexley is surrounded by various railway routes that will send you east/west/north/south.
Bexley sits in middle and is encompassed by Bexley North, Kogarah, Arncliffe and Hurstville
railway lines. You also have 2 other railway stations that are close by (eg Carlton and Allawah
stations)

Bexley has lots of parks, and is surrounded i think by at least 2 main golf courses.

Just down the road from me is Bexley Public swimming pool (6 min walk) where it draws a decent
crowd (eg families and singles). Theres ample parking.

Where i live im surrounded by many many child care centres, so theres no problems
there.

As for shopping it has its own shopping village as well as only 5 minutes drive to Hurstville shopping centre and 5-10 minutes to Rockdale shopping centre and shops on the main road (Princess Hwy)

Just up the road from me is a well established food/grocery supermarket.
Theyve been there pre my entry into the suburb.
Their prices are pretty decent.
Theres also an IGA ? food/grocery supermarket in Forest road. 10 mins walk from me.

Bexley is close to the waters (eg Botany Bay) eg: Brighton Le Sands, Dolls Point, Ramsgate
and few other suburbs in the area.

So plenty of nighting , or eating out if you chose to do so.

Its so quick to get to Cronulla or Kurnell ( eg: Forest Road, Rocky Point Rd all the way through), and the run to Bondi is decent as well (Forest Road, Airport drive or General Holmes drive or Motorway).

So you have many main alternatives to get you there.

Driving from my street there takes approx 8-10 minutes drive on a decent run.

Fast fooding is too easy for me, i have Red Rooster (5 mins walk), Macdonalds (5 mins walk), Kentucky (10 mins), Dominos/Eagle Boys Pizza/chinese food (5 mins walk)

I can rave on but i think this should be enough meat to chew on.
My ratings are honest as to according to my opinion only.

Hope my review has satisfied your thoughts regarding Bexley.

Regards,

Bexley Neighbour.

Congratulations on an outstanding review! you are honest and you point out the good points and the not so good points. you rarely see anybody mention anything negative about the suburb they live in as almost all people like to defend there own investment and decision to live there.
Great job!

I left Bexley in 1971 after 26yrs there was an aircraft protest meeting at Hurstville civic centre. Gough Whitlam promised he was going to move the airport if he was elected. We lived in 63 Iliffe St we sold for $16,000 brick x 3br's deep block. I think they put 4/5 villas on the block. Moved to Port Macquarie. Cheers Rod Worthing.
