"Avoid"
Pros
Auburn has good access to public transport. There is a train station and a large number of bus routes. Shopping is ok. Some people are polite and trustworthy.
Cons
Auburn is packed to the brim with crazy drivers. I have been almost run over twice over 3 years. The Suburb itself is generally rather dangerous. Robbery, assault and gun crime is horrifyingly high. The train station is extremely dangerous. I have lived in auburn for 6 years and i have been robbed 14 times, my house has been broken into twice and I was mugged while i was walking into the train station.
Definitely not reccomended
they are after cheaper homes by trying to degrade the suburb.
This is so true and a lot of my friends have similar experience. Probably because of community pricing and the jail proximity
"Not Reccomended"
I lived in campsie for 4 years and I regret it. There is rubbish everywhere, the place is overcrowded and the people are disgusting. If you are looking for a house, I recommend Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West or South
where, that's if you have the money to pay for those areas.
It's only fair, you get what you paid for. Campsie is great value for money considering how close it is to the CBD.
You are not exactly comparing apples to apples. You cant exactly compare Campsie to some of the most prestigious areas in Sydney like Double Bay which lies in your desired eastern suburbs. The average price of a house in Double Bay is $4.1m and the average price of a house in Campsie is $1.1m. Considering its proximity to the city, and its amenities I would say Campsie is pretty good value for money.
yes campsie is overcrowded but the public service is considered one of the best especially for healthcare service, hospital is near and there is a lot of bulkbill GP. If you have money to pay you can leave somewhere else.
Traffic is terrible in Campsie.
Wow that is awful being robbed 14x, i'm about to move to the area. What part of auburn did you get robbed at and what time did you get off the train?
