i lived in the liverpool area for 25 yrs...Cambelltown is a bit of a lottery, reaaly good in some places...total shithole in others....find out from locals where to be and not to be before making that move....but i would be moving a little closer toward sydney as Cambelltown is a bit of a travel..

[nuttsHunglow]

Seriously cambelltown is ok just so far away from the city and life and fun and i think there is something wrong with the water too people are different there. LOL ..........OK 'll stop

Q: What does a girl from Campbelltown use for protection during sex?

A: A bus shelter

C-town isn't bad. You get bad apples in almost every area. Just chose what part of the C-town area wisely

Its not really central to a lot of things. Its a fair hike to the CBD

If you want laid back go the central coast, 40 mins from sydney and . . . well i just want to move there

I live in Narellan, haven't had any trouble with cars getting stolen or house broken into, haven't heard of any either. Lived here since i was a boy. Narellan is 5min south west of C'town. As people have said you get your bad spots and good spots, just don't go near Airds or Claymore!!!

I moved to Leumeah from Liverpool (UK) i have been back a few times and i can honestly say i would pick Leumeah over Liverpool anyday.

Ok it seems as if the "cons" are well taken care of,

so now for the "pros".

Cost of living is quite acceptable.

There are no telegraph poles, all major electrical systems are underground.

Streets are wide and surfaces in very good condition.

Cost of a modest 3 bedroom house is under $400K.

Getting to and from the surrounding suburbs is quick and simple.

Travel time to Sydney is about 30 minutes on the M5, off peak.

Getting to the Hills districts is 20 minutes on the M7.

Council rates are cheap and the sanitation services are efficient.

Demographics are varied, with plenty of self employed businesses.

The ratio of good sorts is very high, must be something in the water.

No airport traffic.

Less polution, council has a policy about retainment of trees.

WSID and EC are close via the M7, as to is Wakefield park (well relatively speaking).

Et cetera, et cetera.

Airds? LOL!!!!!

I did some research on that a while ago, 2/3 bedroom townhouse in Airds for 75k. You seriously get what you pay for in Airds

Btw im not having a go at anyone, but yeah, Airds wouldnt be your first choice of location

I live near JEFFMAN, and as he said, no problems really, Just some "slightly irregular" roads, But if your looking for bang for buck, campbelltowns the go'er,

It's either that or Mount Druitt

[shane 01782]

thanks again guys your info is great, i'm a maintenance electrician by trade so will i be looking for work in sydney or is there industry all over nsw this might have an influence in the area i choose to live

[jeffworld2]

actually i can get you a job. i work in an engineering department of a large hotel group, and we are hiring if you have general experience with plumbing/carpentry as well or are eager to learn. we will train you in these areas anyway, its just quicker if you already know SOMETHEING

pm if interested

[v_s_p_e_c]

[shane 01782]

thanks jeffworld2 for the offer i have some plumbing and joinery experience but have too many loose ends to tie up here in the uk we are hoping to move over to nsw in about 3 years

If you are going to be renting initially, then i'd suggest the inner west. Unless rents have gone up significantly in the last couple of years it was the about the best cross between affordability/proximity to the city i found when i was younger. I found public transport to be really good in that area too, as you are at a bit of a fork in the road as far as trains go with 3 different lines running through the area so you are generally fairly close. Buses run everywhere. My last place had a bus stop out the front which went to newtown and glebe, and a train station 400m up the road if i wanted to go to the city. Cab ride was about 25 bucks to get me home at 2am You are also generally travelling against the traffic in the morning which makes a huge difference.

But if you have friends over here then it's worth being at least reasonably close to them initially. Nothing worse than living close to the city but travelling out to the west every second weekend to go to the pub with your mates, but you can't drink because you have to drive home....
