That busy hub right near the bus interchange and that chic shopping centre


What comes to mind when you think of ? Convenience central. In fact, one of the most social and convenient suburbs to live in Sydney. You're close to the city - only minutes by train. Although lacking in a community feel, it is a great area to catch up with people and attend a few parties. They may feel a bit impersonal at first, however you'll begin to settle in quickly with an open mind.

Cosy does it. Medicine, shopping or both


What is known most for:

  • The chic, trendy and fashionable Westfield Shopping Centre. If you have the cash to splurge, you're in heaven here.

  • An abundance of modern, high rise apartments that are not cheap to live in.

  • The Sydney Roosters NRL team have their official leagues club in this area.

  • Small commercial office suites.

  • Every possible big bank you can think of has a branch here.

  • Oxford Street Mall, right near the train station and bus interchange.

  • Anything you want to buy, you can (and will) find it here. The plastic fantastic (or in this end of Sydney maybe not so fantastic) will be put to the test here, and so will your patience levels.

  • Too many medical centres. Whether you're seeing a GP or a specialist, you'll find someone here. In the market to lose weight, have a detox or undergo some cosmetic surgery? No problem. Every possible medical treatment is available here from colonic hydrotherapy to laser hair removal.

  • An abundance of new age church services. Hillsong also rent some space at Event Cinemas on a Sunday morning. Church seats are becoming more comfortable.

  • The Eastern - with recent renovations to three of their venues in 2012.

  • Also well known for the veterinary hospital that Dr Chris Brown works in - thanks to Channel 10's Bondi Vet.

  • Oxford Street


    Who lives in :

  • Young Singles

  • Young Couples

  • Frequent Flyers

  • High level professionals

  • Shopaholics

  • Chill out and unwind with all that retail therapy here. You have to. Otherwise there is always a doctor nearby...
