Inner West Sydney Suburb Reviews
Renowned for its trendy cafes and formerly-gritty and bohemian leanings, the Inner West of Sydney has undergone wave upon wave of gentrification to greatly ‘clean up’ both its streets and its image. In the present day, this is now a land of up-market terraces, nearly endless quality restaurants covering a huge range of cuisines, dog-friendly parks and convenient public transport connectivity.

Its close proximity to Sydney City makes it highly desirable for commuters and smaller families alike, and along with this desirability has come property prices which have soared. Pretty suburban parks and impressive examples of Victorian architecture abound in the Inner West, although streets are typically narrow and freestanding homes in most of its suburbs are limited to on-street parking.
Typically left-leaning, while it’s changed somewhat the Inner West is still something of a home for the arts, yoga, music and other artistic endeavours. Its array of pubs and breweries offer the prospect to enjoy some of Sydney’s best drops, while cultural diversity and dining is another of its strengths. Each suburb of the Inner West has a different demographic profile, with some hubs of Italian heritage and others dotting in elements of Portuguese, Greek, Vietnamese and more.
As with any region of Sydney, exactly where the ‘Inner West’ truly starts and ends is a matter of debate – the general consensus is Strathfield acting as the unofficial borderline.
Check out our Inner West Sydney suburbs reviews below for more information on each specific part of the Inner West.

Sutherland Suburb Review
•
5 years ago
Summary: A suburb for those after a chance at decent-sized living space without compromising on the best possible public transport connectivity to Sydney city, Sutherland is the key access hub of its namesake Shire. It boasts a good mix of home sizes and types, with some lower-priced options due to its abundance of older builds and continual new higher-density modern blocks being added all the time.
It’s not completely “beautiful” as a whole but is mostly green, spacious and has a number of pretty parts, and its central area offers a very solid selection of small-scale local services and food options. It has a handful of slight safety issues and isn’t the most lively of places for nightlife, but is quite well-balanced overall. Read Review

Redfern Suburb Review
•
5 years ago
Summary: Formerly one of the true “wild west” suburbs of inner Sydney, in recent years Redfern has substantially – though not fully – had its face changed by the forces of gentrification. Nowadays it’s basically an extension of neighbouring Surry Hills, with a similar burgeoning cafe and pub culture dotted amongst its array of narrow, street-facing terraces and low-rise apartment blocks.
It’s hard to match for convenience with immediate city access and comprehensive public transport, and is highly walkable/bikeable. Redfern’s also still home to significant slices of public housing, an above-average crime rate, can be noisy and traffic-heavy, and retains a mix of quirky demographics from the high and lower ends of socioeconomic society.

Revesby Suburb Review
•
5 years ago
Summary: Walking the line between the array of services of Bankstown and the decent amounts of greenery and personal property space for the price of Padstow, Revesby is a suburb more suited for those who prefer their slice of Sydney suburbia a little more active.
If the likes of Panania or Padstow are a little too boring or ill-equipped for you, Revesby provides an alternative with a lot more in the way of amenities and better transport while sacrificing some slight elements of safety and noise in return. It’s got excellent connectivity and an impressive level of house pride, though a lack of high-density apartments may price out some, and litter is a small black mark presentation-wise. Read Review

Hurstville Suburb Review
•
5 years ago
Summary: One of the most amenity-rich suburbs in all of Sydney, Hurstville is teeming with options for shopping, dining and services. It’s also one of the most mono-cultural, being home to the highest proportion of residents of Chinese descent of any suburb in Australia.
Combine the two, and you’ve got a suburb with a central area with an always-busy and distinct flavour that’s quite a contrast to the rest of its streetscape – which is mostly residential and home to large, freestanding houses or mid-rise apartment blocks. It’s quite safe, has great public transport connectivity, but can feel hectic and a little unkempt in spots, while multiple new constructions continue to make it even busier. Read Review

Eastwood Suburb Review
•
Reviews
Summary: Perhaps THE premier hub for Asian dining in all of Sydney, Eastwood consists of an ultra-dense central district packed to the brim with restaurants and services, coexisting alongside high-end, premier residential back streets for quite the suburban contrast. It’s a place that has experienced marked demographic change over the past few decades, and now provides an interesting mix of legacy stores and homes along with pockets of brand-new development added in.
It’s well-connected in terms of public transport by both road and rail, and has an extremely good array of suburban greenery which – along with its upper-tier education options – make it highly desirable for families as well. Some parts of its central area could use a slight facelift and it faces some significant issues in terms of both traffic & parking, while prices for its often-massive freestanding homes in particular may prove prohibitively expensive for most.

Canterbury Suburb Review
•
Reviews
Summary: The winds of change are slowly blowing on Canterbury, an older suburb now seeing multiple helpings of newer, modernised elements creep in. If you’re put off by the prices of the Inner West, yet not wanting to sacrifice much in the way of distance or location from the Sydney CBD, Canterbury is a solid fall-back option that doesn’t differ too much in the way of quality of life.
Its mix of location, connectivity and quantity of green spaces is exceptional for the price, while it’s also largely safe and peaceful outside of its main road-adjacent spots. At surface level, it could do with a fair bit of extra polish and maintenance and makes the suburb look “cheaper” in many spots than it actually is; that and its issues with traffic are its two main black marks. All of this otherwise makes for a good quality “sleeper” suburb that’s a decent spot to both live and invest, particularly with upcoming infrastructure projects on the horizon.
