..what makes u come to that conclusion?
which conclusion is that? major gentrification?
excellent development is replacing where the industrial area used to meet the shore at the ferry wharf.
Local council has redeveloped alll the walk ways along the ferry, to the park.
The shops in the new unit development include franklins, aldi, restaurants, cafes, clothes shops.
The train station was redone about 8-10 years ago.
More industrial area is being sold as residential development.
Renovations have been very common in the old side of Meadowbank, people are making the most of the increased popularity.
Surrounding suburbs are getting alot of investment, including West Ryde Village and especially Top Ryde Shopping Centre.
Across the way, there is a new pier being built at Rhodes. In addition to the already existing development of Rhodes Shopping Centre, and various residential blocks looking over Homebush Bay.
On the other side of meadowbank park there are new units being built on the shore in the suburb of Ermington / Melrose Park.
As for the history of over development and high crime rate. I lived in meadowbank for 11 years through the 80's and early 90's. Trust me, I know.
