Riverstone

"House proud and affordable hidden suburb."

We bought here just after we were married because it was affordable but were pleased to find a lovely hidden suburb where the vast majority of people are house proud, keeping their lawns and streets tidy. A few hoons here and there but for the most part a peaceful suburb. To eat out well you need to go somewhere else but there are local takeaway that are good like chinese and pizza. For woolies, coles, target and proper shops then Rouse Hill and Windsor are only 10 minutes away, but Riverstone has a good little arcade with Franklins, a butcher, bakery, deli, fruit & veg shop, chemist & newsagent. Riverstone is on a train line as well which is a rarity in the north west - suburbs just down the road like Kellyville, Stanhope Gardens etc cost $200,000 more to buy a house with no public transport. We weren't sure about Riverstone when we first moved here i.e we thought that in the long term we would like to buy somewhere like Baulkham Hills however now that we have been here a few years we wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Plus the area is about to boom when Vineyard gets developed. The development plans had a new primary school on the corner of Hamilton & Crown St, plus a new kindie to Yr 12 school in Vineyard. If you want the "good" side of Riverstone, it is best to buy north of Garfield Rd. Inverness St and the surrounds are the worst streets here, full of housing commission.

Hi, It was very useful to read your review. We are planning to buy in Piccadilly St. Is it near to Inverness St and Housing commission?
Would be great to hear your feedback.
