Merrylands

"Expensive and dirty"

I have been living in Merrylands for over 15 years and it's not what it used to be.From renting and buying which is very expensive and unworthy of the price tag to high mix of ethnicity make this once beautiful and peace full suburb dangerous and dirty place to live in,rude and low or uneducated population,dirty restaurants,I would not recommend eating out in most of those on Merrylands rd.Bowling Club must be the best place to be at at the moment.Direct train line to City with average time table,fairly easy to get around.Tries too hard to compete with Parramatta.Very disappointing as I wanted to spend my life here but now am looking at buying and living elsewhere better then here.Great pity it has become what it has and is getting worse in every way possible,a great shame.

From the date on this post,it has gotten worse, alot worse and and the surrounding suburbs.The government send all these thugs from overseas to the Western Suburbs and they act like territorial dogs.I remember alot of these areas years ago & what a shame,especially those who have lived there for many years.

So true. We moved there in 1965 and it was a beautiful, quiet, sleepy working-class suburb. Nobody knew where it was. Now it's notorious and in the media almost every day for the wrong reasons. The ethnic groups have brought a vibrancy to the suburb and that's fine but the council inspectors need to step up to the mark and clean up the joint and not allow too many junky shops and restaurants. The criminal element that has moved in is alarming. Drug lords abound and I agree with 1day that they behave like territorial dogs bringing a bad name to the suburb.
