Illawong, NSW 2234

Stunning little suburb, great for families, water sport recreation, bush walks, a stroll to the village shops. 2 primary schools and a high school. Safe, quiet, peaceful.

Believe it or not this area is quite central. Yes, whilst you need a car, its only a stones throw away to the beaches in the south and national parks, borders the st george area and close to canterbury bankstown. Because there is no train line the quality of people are excellent i.e no trouble and no criminal activity. Mostly young families or professionals. You have parcels of land that are spacious but in the suburbs and greenery, water and sunlight is absolutely phenomenal. Great schools, great local restaurants and main thing, a nice relaxed vibe with people who are down to earth. Once you live here, i guarantee you wont want to leave!

Fairly large Anglo-Australian population with hints of European and Lebanese people.

Not a particular classy or cultured suburb. Public transport is awful, so you must own a car and enjoy driving long distances.
Good for people that like to show off big and overpriced empty houses and those that have inflated egos. It's filled with beautiful trees, rivers, nice parks and fresh air! The shops are lacking but Westfield Miranda is about 20 minutes away.

Young families are generally friendly and full of spirit. If you're a nature and family person, this is a great suburb, but if you're young and want more excitement, stick to communities around the Sydney CBD. Crime is fairly low, traffic is quite good and drunken behaviour is common. I recommend this place if you want peace and quiet and a sense of community. Good for people over the age of 40.

Illawong a suburb in southern Sydney is an Aboriginal word meaning between two waters, referring to the Georges and Woronora Rivers.

The main problem with areas like Illawong, Woronora and Bonnet Bay is that they are isolated (especially in the frequent event of bushfires in the area). There is one road in and one road out which can be a really scary experience if you have a bushfire racing towards the peninsular! Also areas like Menai and Illawong are not on rail lines and buses are erratic. However, the Menai marketplace is quite a good (but not extensive) shopping centre with some nice restaurants.

Illawong’s tranquillity and local views of the Woronora and Georges River are a huge attraction for residents and locals seeking a relaxed lifestyle whilst enjoying some of the loveliest homes in Southern Sydney.

If you enjoy a coffee break you don’t have far to travel to find one. Illawong has a village style shopping centre comprising of a Coles supermarket, patisserie, butcher, and chemist and well regarded Chinese, Italian and Thai restaurants offering good quality take away or a dine in experience

Illawong’s waterways form the backdrop for many of the recreational activities undertaken by locals. Several bays provide the perfect spot for canoeing, kayaking and sailing. Kids are well catered for as well. It’s difficult to imagine nicer locations for walking, running or cycling than the reserves and parklands along Illawong’s water ways.

This suburb also offers an excellent range of childcare services, including long day care centres and preschools. Illawong families are fortunate to have two local public schools serving their children. Both Illawong and Tharawal Primary Schools provide education from kindergarten to year six, and an assortment of further education options exist in nearby suburbs.

Excellent place to live for people from all walks of life with schools, shops and parks easily accessed for families. Excellent bus routes to Padstow, Menai and Sutherland. Ubundance of parks and bushlands. Some great water views from blue chip locations and bush views from almost every street. Excellent shopping village with that personal touch from the small business owners that makes all the differance to your shopping experience.

Such a diverse choice of homes that singles, younger and older couples and families all enjoy the benifits of this very well kept secret hideaway. Great place to live if you like the water - boating , fishing or just watching the ebb and flow of the morning tide.
