Arncliffe, NSW 2205

We have been so surprised by how lovely it is to live in Arncliffe as a young couple. We've come from living in apartments in the Eastern Suburbs but wanted a little house with a yard to call our own and Arncliffe has been perfect. It's super green and leafy, with lots of parks and good restaurants. We love being a 5 minute drive to the dog friendly beach at Kyeemagh. It's really well connected, an easy jump on the train to the city or direct to Bondi Junction, or straight onto the highways.

We moved to Arncliffe a year ago and are absolutely loving it. Truly is one of the last undiscovered gems within 10km from the CBD.

It's basically in the centre of 4 distinct geographic locations allowing easy access to different lifestyles within a 10min/3km drive. North you have your typical Inner West bohemian galleries, breweries, live music in Marrickville. South, there's beach living along Kyeemagh and Brighton Le-Sands. Greek and Mediterranean offerings in the west along with a quieter suburban lifestyle (Kingsgrove Woolworths is the quietest and best laid out supermarket we've been to). Towards the East you have Asian restaurants and grocers in Wolli Creek and the airport.

The area is rapidly undergoing gentrification. Many young professional families out and about in the mornings stroller in tow. Artistic types priced out of Marrickville and Newtown have also made a sizeable appearance.

Arncliffe is unlikely to remain a hidden gem for long. Our personally experienced travel times - 15mins to Central on the train, 10mins to Kyeemagh beach by car, 10mins to Marrickville via Princes Hwy, just over 15mins to Eastgardens Westfield and 25mins to Maroubra Beach.

I have lived in Arncliffe over 20 years and I loved it from the first moment after moving from Rosbery....my 2 children grew up here and it is such a lovely neighborhood...I know many people and people walked past each other and say hi! I moved here at the time because it was so affordable and I was suspicious as it had everything but after 20 years I still can't find a single thing wrong with it....we love it. So close to airport beaches and all those wonderful cafes along Brighton beach.

I moved to Arncliffe over a year ago. It is a quiet suburb with a mix a dwelling types and many parks. It has most of the traits for a middle class suburb (think Artarmon or Willoughby on the north shore ) in terms of parks, shops, schooling options and public transportation (only 15mins by train to the city). It is up and coming hence far more affordable. The suburbs shops are continuing to improve. There is a large Lebanese muslim population which could seem daunting to some but they are like 3rd gen Australians who bring with them great food, well maintained houses and a well funded football club. I find them delightful to deal with and if anything a real asset to the suburb. Definitely a suburb to watch and from what I understand one of the most affordable within 10kms of the Sydney CBD.

With a mix of new builds and historical houses, Arncliffe has something to suit everyone. With plans due to start to renovate the main street, we are so pleased to have moved here. A very relaxing suburb to live in with great food and coffee, and in such a convenient location. We travel a lot so a 10 minute Uber to the airport is perfect, and better yet there is no noise from air craft! Just the sound of kookaburras and parakeets. Highly recommended and great prices compared to neighbouring suburbs.

We are a professional couple who moved here last year from the lower north shore with our young family. We absolutely love it. Great fresh food and an IGA means we don’t have to go to the supermarket at all. A few nice cafes, great schools and childcare, even yoga at the local community centre, all very convenient and we have met a lovely group of friends in the area. It is a great multi-cultural family suburb. If you are thinking of moving, I highly recommend Arncliffe.

I recently moved to Arncliffe from Marrickville and managed to upgrade from an apartment to a house. This is an affordable suburb with a couple of great cafés and an easy commute to the city. The trains are never over-crowded and so quick!

I have no idea why many people here consider this suburb as a great place to live. After six months, I finally leave this suburb and move back to the Inner West. Arncliffe is depressive, sad and has nothing to offer. Furthermore, we had two major blackouts in less than one month. Glad to leave this place.

I moved to Arncliffe last year in the newly build apartment on Princes Hwy.

Been growing up in Inner West, moving to Arncliffe is kinda "unwilling", especially I don't drive. but I have found Arncliffe is better than I thought.

The commute is convenient - train every 15-20 mins (5 stop to Central), Bus 420 every 15-20mins - 10mins to International Airport, 30mins to Burwood.
one stop or 15mins walk to Wolli Creek - where the Wolly and Aldi are and lots of places to eat.

The street is quiet and nice, and the view is stunning! - thanks for living on the high hill of the area allow enjoy the weekend on the balcony with a book and a cuppa see the aircraft going up & down ( the noise level are low) with plenty of greens, a hint of the blue (the water line ) and touch by a sparkling gold (the sand on Brighton-la-sand beach) at background. great sunsets, fresh ocean breeze.

I heard people complain don't know about their neighbour, how about step up and knock a few doors? where I live, you can only access the level you live and luckily, my neighbour is not shy to knock and introduction him/her selves. even I am really bad in remember the name, but we manage to exchanged Christmas gift by leave by the door and a note saying "Dear Neighbour" instead of name. LOL.

The downsides are there are not many options to eat locally - but hey! we got Uber Eats & Deliveroo and I would love to have a BIGger supermarket - IGA is good but too small, also this area needs a gym.

If you are new and just move to the new apartment complex on Prince Hwy, hopefully, I will see you around :).

To all of those who don't know Anrcliffe, I have been living in Arncliffe for more than 30 years, raised a family and never had anything bad to complain about , there are different kinds of people but only the good ones can afford living here,try buying property in Arncliffe and you know what I mean.
Proximity to st george hospital,city and Airport make Arncliffe a very special and unique Suburb, what can I say ? very simple just buy there and mind your own business and you can be very happy, live and let live and welcome to our suburb.
