i am thinking of moving to campbelltown from the uk within the next three years can anyone tell me if this a good place to live for me and the wife (no kids) and is there a good garage to look after my 32 gtr near by any info or advice would be great .

thanks shane.

no no and no!! lol

i personally think its a shit areaa!!! and all the suburbs surrounding it too...

heard of plenty of thefts there..

Why did you choose campbelltown?

you gonna be buying a place?

Edited by siddr20

Depends on where in campbelltown.

I live in Leumeah and wouldnt live anywhere else.

Never had any problems,Public school and Highschool 5 min walk either direction.Close to train station.

Reasonally priced property.

campbelltown is a shithole, there are plenty of better places to live that are closer to the city..

if you like 17yo mothers and dole bludgers than campbelltown is your spot :(

heh, you should probably visit before making sweeping statements. The area is huge with the majority of the population being young families. A large proportion of residential development in sydney in the last 20 years has been out here.

Nothing wrong with it, property is very well priced lots of new housing around the place rather than 40 year old houses/blocks of units in the inner suburbs.

Close to oran park, though in 3 years that will have likely been closed and developed, easy drive to wakefield park.

Travel to the city is a bitch if you drive as the M5 is backed up from about 6am, trains are accessable though.

I just bought a 7 year old house on an 880m2 block for under 400k. You can't do that anywhere else in sydney.

**** THE MOST CONFUSING DAY IN CAMBELLTOWN IS FATHERS DAY****

Yeh Oran park is the only bonus but is only going to be around for another few years if that! It gets really hot out there and takes years to get too the city and the people i guess are the same as anywhere you have your bad areas and good areas I know of a bad area their actullay it is just a house LOL WANKER! Sorry back to the subject

Advice.... locate employment find out how much you want to spend on rent and go from there. We will be happy to help

Ive lived near ctown nearly all of my life. And have never had a problem. U will find it if you want it though.. Public transport is easily accessable and to drive anywhere is relitvly quick. It is kind of like central for access to sydney city, wollongong and the blue mountains.

alot of areas in sydney have dole bludgers n teeny bopper's popping babies out....not just campbelltown.....there are better places to live in sydney eg bondi...but not everyone was brought up with a silverspoon. good n bad in every suburb so making generalisations cause of certain areas that are bad doesnt make it ALL bad.

Altho it does share its numbers of smakies around tho, but since the gov likes to give our hard earned money away in taxes so easierly.....makes you want to go on the dole!:P

Campbelltown isnt that bad just the all the bludgers etc come from other suburbs to live

haha

Seriously it isnt that bad a place to live..surrounding areas like camden, harrington park denham court, st andrews etc is probably nicer place to live

ive been in glenfield and mac fields for more than 20 years and its the only place i feel comfortable in. i dont know anyone on the dole, i dont get mugged every day and i catch a train to the city in 35min. why would you live anywhere else? especially if you own a skyline, you need somewhere with access to roads that are actually fun to drive, unless your a poser who is an inch of the ground cruising for chicks.

I have lived on both sides of sydney and find them relatively the same :)

Depends how close you want to be to the city and if you like open space??

Campbelltown is nice, im in the good part and its relatively modern..all new housing estates are going up and its cheaper liveing out here and the M5 is pretty good most days just gets a bit backed up if there is an accident :O

Campbelltown is misunderstood, everywhere there is good and bad!!

It all depends on the lifestyle you are use too..

Let us know if and when you plan on moving will come and say hi :)

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
