Wentworthville is one of the best suburbs to live in if one is after practical living with excellent transport connectivity, lots of shopping options and close to schools and hospitals. The suburb is well established and there is a lot of greenery around in comparison to many other nearby suburbs. We contemplated a number of suburbs to buy including new ones such as Schofields, Rouse Hill side of Tallawong and Box Hill which were shiny as they are new but with narrow roads already leading to traffic congestion (hard to imagine the scene when these are fully occupied), cluttered new constructions and little or no greenery around and eventually settled for Wentworthville for all the practical aspects. Not many suburbs give one the convenience of direct trains to city with a max of 35-40 min commute, direct bus connectivity to Parramatta & Liverpool, tons of shopping options within the suburb, largest health precinct in Westmead and future Light Rail and proposed Metro in Westmead being less than 3 km away and Parramatta CBD approx 4 km away. The Wentworthville Public School is in midst of a massive upgrade expected to complete by mid of this year. There are a number of multi-cuisine restaurants near the station and in the shopping centre. Wenty Leagues is another hidden gem. Parramatta Westfield, Merrylands Stockland for shopping and Harris Park again for restaurants are within the 5km radius. With the amount of investment in Parramatta to make it the official second CBD and light rail development in Parramatta/Westmead, Wentworthville is undergoing a massive facelift with the old shopping mall on Dunmore St being replaced by multi-storey apartments with commercial space. A few other buildings are expected to follow in the next couple of years. With the Westmead metro expected in 2030, it is going to further improve the already existing train connectivity. Some of the reviews here mention 'crowded' - it is if you are in Veron or Dunmore street which is close to all the shops and the same goes for any other suburb. Also, Wentworthville is mostly multi-cultural when you look beyond the relatively new apartments in Veron street and thereabouts which are mostly rentals - we have 6 different ethnicities on our street. The one aspect it could improve on is the cleanliness with litters around the station area. Overall, Wentworthville offers great convenience of staying close to all the facilities and at the same time offers peace and quiet if you are not on the main shopping streets.
