Just Moved to south west Sydney campbeltown area

[Heather0411]

Hi we have just come from the UK we are looking for a nice area with good schools, parks, and things to do with our kids age 9 and 13.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

I think my niece is living in Mt Annan, but I've not been to her house yet, and I don't know much about the area. I'll see her tomorrow and ask her what the pro's and con's are? I'd be looking for somewhere close to public transport and shopping/services, because chances are, you will need a car, probably two.

Hi my sister works in Cambelltown and lives near Picton which is lovely. Have friends in Mount Annan and that is lovely and not too far from Campbelltown. Narellan shopping centre ok, not sure about houses there as never looked. Camden is really nice too.

I like Camden too, as it has a real 'town' feel, rather than a suburb, but I don't know what it is like commuting to Sydney as there is no railway station? I drove out to my brother's place in Picnic Point on Friday morning about ten am, so after the morning peak but the M5 seemed to be a 'carpark' going into the city. Of course, if you are working in the Campbelltown area, well that takes a lot of the pressure off!

If your wanting a village feel Emu Plains,St Clair are great areas for a young family.

 

If more of a town then Penrith plus the fast train will get you in the city in 40 mins.Good private and public schools .

 

Emu Plains are on the train line and St Clair is right near the M4 takes 45 door to Sydney I leave at 7am and am in class for 8.15am.

 

Camden is a wonderful place to bring up a family but a bit expensive ....Good luck.
