Maybe it’s the crime, maybe it’s the bogans, maybe it’s a street with a bad reputation, maybe it’s just the nasty surrounds. Often, it’s places where the real estate value is extremely low.

There’s a few contenders for worst suburb in Sydney – which bad Sydney suburb gets your vote as a no good area, and why?

    the city – a century of poor development management and decisions has seen it become a concrete wind tunnel devoid of life and culture and a distinct sense of its own history.  it also has a real sense of disconnection from the suburbs that surround it.  all this, and still nowhere to park!

    Manly – their football team only… :-P

    these are very superficial reasons for labelling a suburb “worst”. you should really take crime statistics into account, over aesthetics…

    . There are suburbs in Sydney where people are actually inbred, living in absolute squalor, sometimes in caravan parks, sometimes in weatherboard homes with walls missing, their babies surrounded by filth, flies all over everything… no amenities, no public transport to speak of, no culture, no jobs and no hope. I have seen some really bad places…Bidwill or Dharruk or Tregear come to mind

    i live in mount druitt its bad but only my generation make it that like you can lovly people here my street is so nice but my parents wont send me to a school around here

    Worst are Airds, Maquarie Fields, Woodbine and most of those surounding these; high crime, high unemployment housing commission areas – they’re real Ghettos.

  10. Sam says:

    Merrylands, Greystanes, St Marys, Doonside, Macquarie Fields, Auburn

    I work at St Marys, and it has it’s bad areas. I think Mt Druitt and Blacktown have a few social issues.

    The outer South-West sydney suburbs are probably the worse, the inner South West sydney suburbs arent that bad except they get more dangerous the more further you go out (Canterbury, Campsie, Belmore, Lakemba, punchbowl and Bankstown)
