Some people put the area down on the basis of over sized houses on top of each other. We came from the inner west of Sydney previously and can say that the houses there were tiny and much much more on top of one another. Here in Kellyville, we have a large family sized home, an inground pool and large grass area in the yard for the kids to play. Our house is in a nice tree lined street with a park and fantastic kids playground close by.
We have much more space around us here then we ever had in the inner city. Kellyville is a fantastic suburb, especially so for young families. It offers a safe haven for raising children with quiet streets, friendly neighbours, beautiful schools and many sporting and recreational fields. Kellyville sometimes gets bad publicity due to the so-called "McMansions" but I'm sure the people making these comments don't live in the area. The Hills area in general is a fabulous part of Sydney and given the choice to live anywhere else, I would definitely choose the Hills District.
Most of Kellyville is a relatively young suburb built around the smaller long standing Kellyville Village. Excellent shopping is provided by a combination of large retailers and smaller specialty shops at the close-by Castle Towers and the Rouse Hill Regional Centre shopping precincts. Grocery and convenience stores are provided in Kellyville by both Woolworths and Coles surrounded by a wide range of service and convenience stores. All locations offer a range of cafes, eateries and restaurants.
Local clubs, pubs, restaurants, and cinemas provide opportunities for nightlife with some younger adults preferring to travel by express buses to the city clubs, theatres, and arenas. There are plenty of parks and reserves, bike paths and indoor sporting facilities. Street plantings in the newer areas are approaching 10 years old and the canopy of trees is growing thicker.
Gardens are usually well kept, neat and tidy. Contrary to the urban myth, a range of housing and land sizes is available but most dwellings are free standing. New single storey houses are rare because most of the original landowners chose to maximise land use with two storey dwellings to leave sufficient space for swimming pools, large outdoor entertainment areas, and gardens for the children to play in.
For young singles or couples, townhouses and units do exist around the public transport corridors serviced by private buses that utilise T-way or bus lanes to rail links or direct to the city, Castle Hill or Rouse Hill.
Many of the older Californian bungalows are still occupied by their original owners who have now retired, and some of these are undergoing renovation by young families who recognise the value of the location and appreciate the large land sizes.
The area is well serviced by local GPs, medical specialists and a nearby state of the art private hospital at Norwest Bella Vista. A range of reasonably new and well equipped public, Catholic and Anglican schools service the area. A wide range of summer and winter sports clubs ensure plenty of choice for children on the weekends. The neighbourhood has a generally friendly and cooperative feel.
Street Christmas parties and BBQs are common with children generally being the catalyst. Most take pride in their homes and gardens and would share a beer with their neighbour after mowing the yard or washing the car. The only downside in my view is the difficulty that teenagers may face in travelling to the larger recognised universities eg UNSW or Sydney. While not impossible, a heavy study load might be better handled by near campus accommodation.
Takes forever to get to anywhere where you can find decent places to eat and boutique shopping! Every second house is from homeworld and the houses are pakced in like sardines. The enourmous houses are just a waste and are unnecessary. The weather is really humid and hot, as you dont have any coastal breeze. It deppresses me taht this is what society wants! Wow, how bad it must be for you to put up with a lack of sea breeze and poor mentalities.
I hope that you are happy back in Mexico tending to your unicorns and butterflys and past the duress imposed upon your poor soul. I used to live in the Inner West and I do agree with you about the lack of sophistication of the people and the area.
I arrived here when there wasn't a decent place to buy a cappucino. It's much better now. However the homes are very comfortable even if they are McMansions but yes, you do need a pool out here! I totally agree! For what? The same price and distance of the lushikus green mountains and south coast????
No privacy and the cigarette smoke of the neigh ours and soccer balls flying into oup heads is the worst. Anyone who likes this place has not lived much further or better. Lol what is hilarious is you moving from the city of Melbourne to a suburban Sydney area and expecting it to be the same.
Perhaps you're just a bit precious and can't compete hence why you think people here are all about keeping up with the joneses, because I certainly don't find it that way at all. The houses in this area use up almost as much as possible for the square on the house, and leave almost no room for backyards and there is not much room between the houses either.
Inside the houses though, they are huge, plenty of room for whatever you might need. The shopping centre is small but adequate, has good take aways, coles or woolworths and not to far from Castle Towers.
A lot of young families live in the area, you can get a nice place with room in the house for a reasonable price. But the transport to anywhere is shocking, unless you drive. If you work in Norwest Business Park though you are laughing.
The three best features of Kellyville is the great children's playgrounds, the many reserves and the locality of small to medium shopping centres. If you like to spend all weekend 'keeping up with the Jones', then this is the place for you! Make sure your not too loud, as to upset the neighbours. Make sure your grass is keep free of weeds.
And, remember Enjoy your life in the 'Burbs'. I don't find it like that at all. Perhaps you feel compelled to keep up with the Jones's but most people certainly don't. I don't understand why people are so bitter. Kellyville is a fast growing suburb in the north west of Sydney 36 kilometres from the CBD. It is in the Hills District of Sydney.
