We moved to Merrylands last year from Sydney East. Main reason – affordable property prices and close proximity to station with direct and fast train commute to the City. So good we picked Merrylands as a place to live in. At a price of 1 bdr apartment in the area we considered before we purchased in Merrylands spacious and nearly new, great in all respects 2 bdr apartment. Good living conditions given current situation with Corona when we have to spend most of the time at home are becoming even more vital.
Area itself is rather good as well. It’s not gloomy as many other suburbs with affordable housing. It has good vibes in it. There is a big shopping mall – Stockland Merrylands, with all major retail and grocery stores. We hope area will change even more for the better with completion of new development with cafes and shopping strip around the station.
It has a good culture mix as well. People I know are from China, Korea, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Croatia, Macedonia, Spain, Russia and local Australians with roots from Netherlands and UK.
