Why Live in Marrickville?
Marrickville is convenient for short stays, 20-30 minutes from Sydney CBD and close to nearby universities and local parks and amenities. Whether you're here for a work placement or trialling the area before committing, it keeps you connected from day one.
Marrickville is Vietnamese pho strips, microbreweries in old industrial buildings, and a rapidly gentrifying mix of post-war brick houses and warehouse conversions.
Illawarra Road carries the Vietnamese and Greek food scene; the Marrickville Metro shopping centre is the everyday hub; Sydenham Station is a Metro stop now, opening the area further.
Street life: Batch Brewing and Wildflower Brewery for beer; Marrickville Pork Roll for cheap lunch; Cornersmith Marrickville for brunch.
On the weekend: Marrickville Organic Food Markets on Sundays and the Cooks River walking path through Steel Park.
