Parramatta

"Love Parra - its got everything you need!"

I moved in about 6 months ago and Parramatta consistently surprises me and beats expectations. I can walk to Coles, Westfields and the Chinese groceries on Church st all within 15 minutes making grocery shopping a breeze. Parramatta Park has got to be one of the most picturesque parks along the river, I go for jogs there 2 evenings a week. Love going for strolls along the river precinct with my lady. Trains and the Rivercat are super convenient if you need to go to the CBD. Neighbours are really nice, we're a culturally diverse bunch but everyone gets along well. Did I mention the effort the council goes into improving the suburb image with the numerous festivals - we've got part of the Sydney Festival this year but recently there was a Thai Festival, Parramasala, The Art Festival - it's much more cultured than most people give it credit for.

I think the only downside are the non-local people who go to Westfields on the weekend from Western Sydney and clog up the roads and the carpark.
