I own a property and live here so i can comment. I will be as honest as possible.

I feel safe here, every morning at like 5am - 6am i go to the park on railway parade and i’m greeted by friendly elderly chinese smiles. They are out there every morning! Doing tai chi exercises and dancing talking etc its really lively!

I do all my groceries shopping on john st, i can eat out every day morning lunch or dinner cause thats how much variety of asian cusine there is in cabra.

You can findvtailors, jewllery stores, bread stores, just like what you find in Asia.

There are lion dances every year, massive fire works for chinese new year, and market stalls for moon festival.

Every weekend you can enjoy vietnamese music concerts and karaoke entertainment at the leagues club, you will find ppl dancing tango, cha cha cha etc

People start early here, there are food stalls that open at 4am, and many by 6am. One or two goes 24/7 on john street. By 9am everything is bustling and gets quiet by 9pm.

The residents are noisy in some places, and the parking is not great. The reason? Cause every asian around sydney comes here to grab groceries and something to eat.

To me? It is definitely a little asia in sydney.

Property here are in high demand, rents are cheap, but property prices are more expensive than the surounding suburbs.

The people here have made a living, build a community, and now their children are grown up.

It is a place of successful integration of asian culture and australian life.

You have to get use to it, but when you do? Then you will see why Cabramatta is a great place to live.

Would i continue to live here? Yes.
Could i compare it to the likes of say? Chatswood, burwood? Probably not. But in my opinion its way better than ashfield, strathfield, marrickville, bankstown, even china town.

:) go for yourself, check Cabramatta out today and see what it has becomed.

Ps: the kids here have parents who take their education very seriously. 👍
