Carlton, NSW 2218

Carlton is exceptionally leafy, quiet and has great federation homes. Lovely units and very safe.
Parks and cafes and only 20 minutes to the cbd

Just nice and quiet. Many parks and close to the city. I enjoy just the small parks. Anglo square and the cafes. It’s safe which is really important and nice bungalow homes. Not noisy or congested like hurstville or the east and west. Good balance

It’s small and cosy. Leafy with no traffic congestion. Small cafes popping up and a new Aldi too. No huge apartment blocks which is a bonus. Nice bungalow federation homes and solid older style units makes it a draw card. Relatively well priced. Much nicer than congested inner west and overpriced eastern suburbs. Has everything you need. Beaches nearby. Parks, shops, cafes and 20 minutes to the cbd. Just a good all round safe suburb.

Carlton is a quiet, safe, leafy suburb with a village atmosphere. With a great selection of housing; beautiful federation and modern homes, quality apartment buildings. It's close to beaches, parks, major shopping hubs and the CBD is only 20 minutes by train or car. A great suburb to live in!

Once again, this suburb is located near the hearts of the St George area - Kogarah and Hurstville, but Carlton in itself is fighting back against the consumer rich duopoly with the convenience of a gym, a small stretch of restaurants of Railway Pde and abundance of parks and schools. Hurstville has slightly fallen behind its top counterpart, Kogarah, due to overcrowding and rapid gentrification, resulting in traffic congestion, which in itself, is non beneficial for the suburb. Kogarah is highly convenient equipped with a large scale hospital to parry back at Hurstville, and Rockdale is left flailing unfortunately in its gentrified almost urban landscape, with overly busy roads running through near the train station. Hence, Kogarah dominates. But Carlton snaps back, because it is a huge suburb, and it is nice to see it even extending into the title of Allawah, which is gradually dwindling. Overall, this suburb has virtually all you need at a non exorbitant price. In close propinquity to Beverley Park, which is idyllic for golf and all your leisure activities.

Carlton is a fantastic suburb situated in the St. George precinct, south of the CBD. It offers the complete lifestyle with cafes, parks, highly recommended schools, train station ( approximately 25 minutes to the city), a selection of shops and dining options and centrally positioned to the city, beaches and the airport.

Couple all of this with a safe, family friendly area and it's own Rugby League team, the St. George/ Illawarra Dragons, Carlton is a great place to live or invest.

Carlton is a nice little suburb with a train station and a few shops. Nearby Kogarah and Hurstville are within easy reach for more shopping. Overall, a safe suburb and about a 20-25 minute drive/train to the city.

I've lived in Caringbah for a long time and now I've lived in Carlton for over 2 years. Caringbah was nice but too far from the city via transport, the trains from Carlton are great (25 min to Town Hall) but they arrive every 30 min in off peak so I have to work around that (that was the same for Caringbah, so no loss there). I live alone so safety was important and Carlton feels quite safe, I haven't heard of anything bad happening here.I live near the train line but I actually don't hear it a lot, so its nice and quiet. My neighbours are a friendly bunch so I feel even safer!

Carlton doesn't have a whole lot in terms of anything (except a gym and some decent restaurants on the Railway Pde side, especially the Japanese place!), but Kogarah and Hurstville are 5 minutes away for all my shopping and entertainment needs.

The suburb itself is quieter on the Carlton Pde side, with more parks and leafier, although people still prefer the Railway Pde side (not sure why). Lots of families, old people and young couples live around here, so there aren't too many ruffians living about!

I've been very happy here, so what more can I say :). Kogarah would be better to get more trains, but it is more expensive. I think Carlton is a wonderful choice as it is still "affordable".
