Where is campsie sydney

Beamish St is busy for most of the day. I felt safer walking from the train station to my car at night because there were still a few stores open and people around. I read about muggings in the paper but never experienced anything 'physical' like that. Someone tried to break into my flat when I was out one day but they only succeeded in screwing up my door knob, not opening the door.

The dodgiest thing I saw was a couple of noisy addicts making racist comments at the train station they were caucasian. Really, most of the residents there are parents with children who just want to work hard to bring up their kids. It might be better as a commuter suburb than a destination suburb.

There is a compact mall of sorts. A decent size library though it's very noisy. Lots of great international cuisine on Beamish St, but I could only really afford to read the reviews.

I wished there were nicer cafes. Most feel like you're half in the street. I had a lot of bad coffee before I found one okay place. But you aren't far from better inner city 'coffee' suburbs. Roselands is also a fairly short drive away for other stuff. For anyone specifically looking at 27 Fore St: These are tiny, cheap studios. In a place that cheap, you'll get some nice, quiet neighbours, but also two or three jerks who spoil it for the whole building.

Complaints to the real estate agent resulted in letters to every resident saying 'please be quiet at night' which, apart from feeling unfair, accomplished absolutely nothing. Dysfunctional people live in these kinds of studio complexes and the estate agents aren't interested in kicking them out even if they make other people more likely to leave - go figure.

Normal levels of noise also came through the walls, albeit muffled, and if someone had a conversation standing on the balcony outside, they might as well have been in your room. You could live here if you knew you were doing it for financial reasons, temporarily. If you were hoping to stay long term, the bad neighbours and poor management would spoil it. I also don't miss the many cockroaches, large and small. I dont like this suburb. You can find many shopping stores but it is a dirty suburb.

I like the Korean and Japanese food here. I really enjoy going with my friends to sit in the Korean or Japanese restaurants on the Beamish Street. Sometimes we buy Korean style meats there is perfect Korean shop is on the North Parade forgetting the shop number for BBQ at home as well. If you like to get a beer, we prefer to go to the TAB, the guy named Dan is very funny and friendly: overall, i like to live here as Campsie is a such good spot here in Sydney.

Lived in Campsie for a while when I moved out of parents place. Big mistake. Congestion on Beamish Street has meant that I have to leave home earlier each day to make it to uni. People dump their rubbish everywhere and it feels like im in a western Sydney dump. Safety - dont even mention it, unit got broken into first week i moved to Campsie.

My cars luggage rack and spare tyre also got stolen, after that I never parked my car on the street again. Bright spots are the ethnic diversity and the numerous dining options and Canterbury Hospital nearby. Also good is that its just across the river from inner west, what a difference crossing the Cooks River makes live in Dulwich Hill now, and feels like heaven there. Overall, it has decent train services 7 per hour to city in peak hour and cost of living is affordable.

However, it is not a place i would recommend as a home. Somewhere like canterbury or croydon park next to campsie would be better options. Overcrowded and sadly quite dirty. The Council Chambers is located here so you would think they would clean it up. Has potential if it picks it act up. Campsie is the most 'value for money' suburb in Sydney. The housing is affordable, the public transport is flawless- trains and buses every 5 minutes and there is even a bike path that takes you all the way along the Cooks River.

Beamish St is always a hub of action, with gems to be found on every corner- Tai Chi in the mall, parks full of giggling children, Indian spice stores, Chinese dumplings, pork buns, pide and kebabs.

There is even a sushi train! For those who haven't discovered Campsie yet, they're missing out. It's 15mins from Newtown, 5mins from the M5 and not under the flight path! It's a definite for first home buyers and investors! I have been a resident for the past two years in Campsie and live in the leafy north-west region of the suburb which borders Enfield and Belfield.

What a transformation Campsie has undergone. This is a very large suburb that bordered by seven suburbs extending well above and below Canterbury Road and is just a stone throw away from the inner-west. Campsie is where children of all different nationalities mingle together in its many green pockets and where you will be entranced by colourful Indian dresses on clothes line, smell curry, fish and soy sauce on your daily walk to the train station.

It is also home to Beamish Street - quite possibly, the most ethnically diverse thoroughfare in all of Sydney. A morning is not complete without watching the world go by outside Campsie station - you feel as though you really are in a global metropolis and watching the swarms of people rushing for that peak hour train is entrancing.

At the same time, a train ride to the city is just 30 minutes and the CBD is 13km away. The more negative aspects include that fact that Beamish Street is not too aesthetically pleasing. The buildings are quite rundown and surrounding streets can resemble a concrete jungle and Woolworths resembles a 24 hour cat fight.

Canterbury-Bankstown Council has previously consulted the community over a blueprint to increase the density of the suburb from 24, to almost 40, people with more than 15, dwellings in total by , while making the area more environmentally sustainable, affordable and connected to the Cooks River. How do they expect us to look at it? Canterbury-Bankstown mayor Khal Asfour said the plans had received broad support and the area needed to be improved, adding that there would be more opportunities for revision along the way, with the plans going to the council and the state government.

We really need to push forward with it to benefit Campsie. The plan acknowledges that open space in the suburb is limited and, with outdoor recreation heavily policed during lockdown, many children have been restricted to playing at the front of apartment blocks.

Its train station sees more frequent services than most other small-scale suburbs in the area, and is often included in Express runs to the city which others lack. This public transport appeal is key, as Campsie suffers when it comes to road access. It cops a lot of through-traffic during peak hours, with both Beamish Street and Canterbury Road inundated with cars — and the intersection of both particularly problematic. Campsie is also busy in general — both in terms of residents, and those needing to visit.

One of the key reasons for this is its unusually high concentration of medical services. While this is mainly centered around Canterbury Hospital , Campsie also boasts a disproportionately large number of day clinics, medical centres, dentists, pharmacies and other miscellaneous specialists.

Campsie Centre is its main shopping hub, with quite a good selection of both smaller and big-box stores including a Big W and places to buy homewares, fresh produce and the like.

To its credit, Campsie offers a very wide and diverse array of housing options covering most life situations and budget levels — often located right alongside one another. Its streets are generally quite green as well outside of the main foot traffic areas, with both regular Sydney-style trees and also random lines of Palm Trees distributed along various roads.

Its parkland areas are quite good in terms of both space and playground equipment — Federation Reserve in particular is nice and spacious, with some nice historical curation — and waterfront areas along the Cooks River add another scenery dynamic where kids and dogs can play.

Price-wise, Campsie represents an interesting choice. Moving forward, Campsie looks set to be part of the next round of gentrification set to hit Sydney suburbs that have not quite been given the same amount of love just yet. All of the requirements for a solid place to live are there — plentiful schools, relatively reasonably property prices, a wide selection of places to dine, great public transport connectivity and a very good range of amenities. Many potentially pretty roads and public spaces are unfortunately marred by neglect, while other individual back streets are upmarket and well-presented.
