Mount Druitt

"Like all ex Housing Commission suburbs, you wont be able to afford to live here in years to come."

Mount Druitt is a suburb ready to prosper.
After years of Housing Department stigma & no employment nearby, big firms are moving to Walgrove rd, Erskine Park & Minchinbury.
Which suburb is the most affordable near these locations?
Correct! Mount Druitt & its smaller suburbs within.
So if you favour lifestyle, over the status symbol of a Mac Mansion with no backyard for a family BBQ, Mount druitt is it.
In other words you prefer to live in a modest home, have a nice boat, car, motorcycle & without a hefty mortgage- and actually have the time & money to utilise these things with your family & friends.

With Sydney in lockdown gridlock, from Blacktown to the Sydney CBD, big companies with a vast array of occupations around the clock are heading further west. Take the plunge, ignore the knockers & enjoy life, without a half million dollar mortgage.

Law and order? Check out the crime maps on the Bocsar website, Mount Druitt and around is a sea of red (ie a crime hotspot).

Gary, as stated, lived in Mount Druitt all of my life & never needed police.
Stats are rubbish. Current Affairs tv garb....

Ok the stats are rubbish. I'll go with the word of a dude called TrumpyJeff on the internet over the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research. Either lucky or lying I guess.

Geez Jeff, we understand you're love for Mt druitt but notice how you're the only person defending you're wonderful suburb? Now that could mean one of 2 things, either you're Mount druitt neighbours are too busy queuing up at centrelink or they are on there way to steal you're computer. Either way we have all had to many bad experiences with the lovable mt druitt suburb and feel the need to warn others of potential dangers. congratulations for being the only person living in mt druitt to have not been robbed or to have witnessed a robbery.
i lived in the area for 4 years and had my house broken into 6 times. we realised that our wonderful neighbours watched when we went to work and climbed through our roof to steal all our stuff. We went to the police and the next day found our puppy had been killed and layed on my letterbox for my 2 year old daughter to see when she got out of the car. the next day we moved. consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

Sarah_jane. Sorry to hear of your 4 yrs of hell in Mt Druitt.

All of my neighbours are employed, the ones that dont are elderly & probably do deal with centrelink- but not in the stereotypical/Ivory Tower way you implied, but as old age pensioners.

Luck really has/had nothing to do with living a good life here, primary school/highschool etc.
Grew up in Hebersham & had my bicycle stolen!OH GOD!!!, lived in a cheap flat on woodstock ave to save for a house (2000-2005) & finally bought a house in Lethbridge Park (2005- Present).

The dog on your letterbox was a message, obviously a neighbourhood dispute the rest of the world know nothing about, but you've upset someone & have made out that you're an innocent victim.
Criminals generally just take things & leave asap to pawn items. They wouldnt bother with the puppy. (Maybe it yapped all bloody day!!!!!!!)

So all neighbours, on both sides & across the road did nothing whilst someone broke into your home (6 times) & killed your puppy & strung it over your letter box???????????

More to the story I think sarah............My neighbours sign for parcels, clear junk mail whilst we were away, I mowed their lawn whilst they were away.........Mount Druitt isnt perfect, but it certainly is a good place if you treat people with the respect you expect from others, regardless of their financial status, religion, race.

Mate, Trumpy you are lucky. Lethbridge park and Mt Druitt in general on the housing commission side is Australia's closest thing to the Bronx. For you to even suggest that a puppy yapping would be reason to murder it and string it over a letterbox has pretty much summed up why you are comfortable in the piece of hell you live in, because you understand and appreciate there warped way of thinking.

Old Mount Druitt isn't too bad really, but either way this area is extremely cheap for a reason. It's rubbish.

Funny man Paul87, all the shootings in Sydney have happened in suburbs I personally wouldnt reside in due to inflated house prices. One could own two homes in mount druitt for the price of a "ganglands" drive by shooting house in Guildford or Merrylands. The "houso people" in my street have wonderful homes & gardens, even sweep their gutters after they mow the lawn. Re: the puppy, if you think outside the square..............these things dont happen to innocent people. You & your family/friends have obviously had a bad experience or driven thru these parts & have been threatened by someone whom you think is below you in status & therefore have an axe to grind via degrading me via keyboard warriorism. Good luck to you & your family in your current utopia, where the sun always shines, apples & pears grow on council strips & unicorns frolic. Regards jeff

Trumpy, you are getting to hung up over this and jumping to conclusions. You aren't a real estate agent are you?

I am not from Mount Druitt, I've never been threatened in Mount Druitt and I have known decent people who have moved to Old Mount Druitt because they cannot afford any better. That's fine. I do however know a bad suburb when I see one, and I've spent enough time in Shalvey, Lethbridge Park, Bidwill, Whalan and Willmot to know that I would not want half the people that live there as my neighbours.

I live in Blackwall (In Between Woy Woy and Umina) on the Central Coast. If you knew that area you would know I'm not a snob. This area has a lot of people that are moving here from Mount Druitt as the rental prices are similar (Not house prices but rentals) and they can afford to keep there bludging ways of life and live near water. I also know what a large percentage of these so called "Human Beings" that have moved up here are bringing with them. Over the last 10 years the crime here is only getting worse, the drinking problems and vandalism skyrocketing because of these people.

Talk to anyone on the Central Coast and you will get a similar story. We see what the wonderful Mount Druitt lifestyle is doing to our otherwise beautiful areas and it disgusts me. Mount Druitt is a breeding ground for rubbish. Of course half the people are probably wonderful, but when there is 50% of the population that Darwins theory should have taken care of and/or should be in jail there is a serious problem.

By the way I never mentioned gangland shootings in my post. I can see you have a history of responding to things that aren't mentioned, from a post below. Merrylands, Guildford etc, is a whole other world of rubbish. Those suburbs are cultural segregation gone wrong. I don't think many people who aren't of a typical race or religion would even contemplate living in those particular areas, so I won't even touch on that.

TRUMPYJEFF- I find it sick that you feel you can justify the murder of an innocent puppy. I was actually considering Mount Druitt but after reading all this I will pass.. thanks for the warnings!

I love how TRUMPYJEFF keeps trying to justify the killing of the puppy as deserved payback for something sarah_jane must've done wrong. How very reassuring that the good citizens of Mt Druitt only cruelly murder puppies when they have a 'legitimate' grievance!

I have lived in Mt Druitt for 20 years and have never had a problem with crime. I would much rather live here than any suburb in the east, its very homely and people are very friendly.

Report
Mangariva Avenue

"Close to the hub of Sydney's Multi National Companies, employment employment........."

A nice family area, mins to primary school & local indoor heated & outdoor pools.
Adjacent to the pools is Emerton Shopping Village containing Woolworths & Go-Lo & a variety of other stores including leading fast food outlets.
Bus @ the end of the street to Mount Druitt Train Station/Westfields/Hoyts Cinemas/Shopsmart/Courthouse/Hospital & Tafe.
The heart of Sydney's Distribution & Warehousing located nearby Minchinbury/Eastern Creek/Walgrove Rd/Erskine Park with national identities such as Woolworths, Aldi, Kmart, Star Track Express & Corperate Express employing thousands around the clock & paying top dollar. Walgrove Rd & Erskine park are relatively new & attracting more & more big firms from congested inner sydney to relocate due to easy access to major motorways & links. I personally rode a bicycle to work in Minchinbury for over 5yrs, 8kms from Lethbridge Park easy.
Lethbridge Park is shedding its Housing Department past & has evolved into a dynamic working class suburb, with room for all to prosper.

Great for

  • Housing Department/Commission Selling off most of its properties
  • Close to public transport,sporting fields and gyms
  • Close to schools ,preschools
  • Close to shops,fast food restaurants

Not great for

  • Re:Pro, the Housing Commission properties are auctioned undervalue, bringing the median house price for the area down.
