There used to be more diversity in stores and people living here, and less high rise buildings. Now there’s so many new apartment blocks! It’s become so overpriced and so densely populated! Croydon, in my opinion, is a nicer suburb, quieter and more leafy.

Very convenient suburb- 10-12 minute ride to the City, and has many express trains. Can be packed during peak hour. There’s also a westfield in Burwood, as well as buses to the East and south and trains to the north and west.

Restaurants and stores close very late at night around 10pm, so it’s quite safe to walk along the Main Street at night as it is well lit. Feels like a Chinese city.

Schools are also pretty good around the area, with a selection of private and public schools within 10 minute drive.

Very convenient suburb. Short commute (Within 20 minutes) to Burwood, Hurstville, Strathfield, Bankstown, Airport etc. 25 minute train ride to the city. The main street is unfortunately a bit run down. Campsie does not have a Westfield, however, it does have a small plaza “Campsie Centre,” which houses grocery stores, news agencies and Big W. There is also a library under Campsie centre, which has recently been renovated. Relatively safe suburb- I’ve never felt unsafe walking on the streets at night, and have never been robbed/ mugged in the past 20 years here. The suburb booms in the early hours of the morning (ie. 5am) with many breakfast stores open, and an abundance of people buying breakfast at these stores. However, it is relatively dead at night, with most of these breakfast stores closing in the late afternoon.
