Reviews of Chippendale, NSW
"Industrial cool meets foodie heaven, ditch the car."
I’ve lived in Chippendale for about 18 months now (near the Central Park complex), and it’s honestly one of the most convenient places I’ve ever lived in Sydney.
The Good:
The location is unbeatable. I walk to work in the CBD in 15 minutes, and having Central Station right there means I can get anywhere. The food scene is insane❤️😎 . Spice Alley is basically my second kitchen, and there are so many hidden cafes and small bars around Kensington Street. I also love the vibe; it feels very mix of old industrial brick and modern green architecture. White Rabbit Gallery is a cool spot to take visitors.
Perfect for young professionals, students at UTS/Sydney Uni, or couples who want to be in the thick of it.

"Coolest suburb"
Chippendale is the best inner city suburb ! Have a coolest neighbourhood, our unit apartment nearby the best coffee shop ever. It’s a low key but safe.
Easy Commuting, Central Station is within walking distance, making it easy to commute to other parts of Sydney.

"Love Living in Chippendale"
A few years since we moved here and love it still. Lots to do within walking distance, no need for a vehicle or even public transport. Someone had a question about crime on Facebook = we have not had a sinle bad experience in 4 years. Love the people 20-60 year old the norm, and the many shopping areas is superb.

"Resort Like, well-manicured park and streets"
I'm in a 2 bed + 2 bath + 1 parking. Amazing view from up high, and the real perks are beautiful pool, spa and well-fitted-out gym. Feels like living in a resort and I get to walk my dogs in a well-manicured park and streets.
