Drummoyne, NSW 2047

Drummoyne offers a perfect mix of tranquil waterside living and city convenience. With stunning harbour views, parks like Taplin Park, and the popular Bay Run, it’s ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Shopping is easy at Birkenhead Point, and diverse dining options line Victoria Road. Excellent transport links make the CBD accessible, while strong community vibes and top schools make it perfect for families. Drummoyne is a prime choice for quality living.

Lived in Drummoyne for 3.5 years now; we love being close to the city (buses are fine); lovey sense of community, nice walks and good schools. And Harris farm is great! Lyons road though is stressful - I simply don’t walk there with the pram - and a major reason for this is the lack of trees. So living in drummoyne is still enjoyable but I avoid Lyons road. In summer it’s a urban heat island. And sadly many people in some parts of drummoyne like to concrete everything and chop down trees so they can pave the earth over and make it ‘neat’. It’s an environmental tragedy.

I lived in Drummoyne for many years and I can see how much it has changed and developed since then. So many new shops and flats have popped up, certainly adding to the charm of the neighborhood. Even Birkenhead Point has been revamped. A great little mall!

Public transport/access to the city and Parramatta is super easy, not a bad word to say. Neighbors friendly, never any issues with crime.

The negatives for me are NOISE levels and constant traffic. If you are sensitive to noise, you will not like Drummoyne. Victoria Road traffic emits constant high decibels, and if you add the constant plane noises to the mix, it just becomes unbearable. I would avoid: Victoria Road, Lyons Road, Marlborough Street, Formosa Street and Henley Marine Drive.

Overall, East Drummoyne is the best part. Lyons Road is more or less constantly congested. You would sit on the bus for ages before it even gets to Victoria Road.

After living here I actually do love Drummoyne. The area itself is great, with good amount of parks and its almost self isolated so even though its near the city it isn't busy even in the mornings and evenings at "peak hour". Only quarrel i have is a lot of stuck up pretentious people live here as it is a "cool" suburb name to live in , although there are many nice people to be found it seems to have these types walking around from time to time.

My favourite things in Drummoyne is that people are so happy and nice to me and LGBT people would love 💗 Drummoyne

Drummoyne is surrounded by water on 3 sides, has multiple family friendly parks and playgrounds, is home to the famous Bay Run and Birkenhead Point, and is also only minutes from the city by either bus or ferry/rivercat.
The dining and cafe culture has improved in recent years with many more notable and experienced operators coming to the area.

Great places to eat and very friendly social area.

What a gem - surrounded by Sydney Harbour and lush green parks, Drummoyne is an inner west oasis - just 20 mins from the centre of Sydney.
Easy to catch a bus into town or jump on the ferry for a stunning trip to Circular Quay via Cockatoo island.
There are great places to eat and shop including Birkenhead Point, beautiful marinas and waterfront dining and fantastic playgrounds for the kids.
Locals are warm and friendly and development in the area is bringing new retail and excitement to the community.
I've lived in Drummoyne for over a decade and wouldn't move anywhere else...shhhh don't tell everyone!

I've lived in Drummoyne since 2004. It's a great community, close to parks with amazing view of the water, great for fitness with the Bay Run just around the corner, lots of close by Kids activities and great places to eat day and night.
Getting in and out of the Sydney CBD is so easy, Uber ride is approx $20, I highly recommend the suburb to all singles, couples and families, Drummoyne is full of professionals as it's very central to everything you need without living in your neighbours backyard due to the decent block sizes.
Drummoyne is also easy to navigate and get to Hunters Hill, Woolwich, Five Dock, Russel Lea, Darling Harbour, Lane Cove, and North Sydney, handy for families with Great Primary and High Schools (Catholic, Private and Public).

I have been living in Drummoyne for 1 yr so far.
Living on Lyons rd is not easy because of the traffic that happens 7 days a week. Mon to Fri only during peak hours and all times on the weekends. So accessing my building to park my car isnt easy. Is possible try to avoid Lyons rd by using the back roads that take you to birkhead point, five dock, victoria rd.
Victoria rd is another heavy traffic st and anzac bridge that takes you to the city is a nightmare during peak hours.
My unit faces drummoyne oval, so i dont have problem with noise from the street.
Airplane noise has reduced since the behining of 2018. Last summer there were so many airplanes cruising on our heads that watching tv at night was only possible with all windows and doors closed. This winter isnt bad. Not sure if because the low season in Sydney or because airplanes are on another route. I can tolerate better the airplane noise than victoria rd n lyons rd traffic.
Regards the small streets in Drummoyne, its a peaceful area. Drummoyne oval and bay run offer great views, parks, footpath to running.
Few options of cafes, restaurants n pubs in the area, what makes a quiet suburb. Good for resting on your days off and have a good night of sleep.
There are 10 bus route to the city and central, but no train. Around 30min by bus to martin place/circular quay. Or 10min driving to town hall when no traffic.
Groceries shopping available in iga, harris harm, aldi n coles.
Overall its a great area to live if you are looking for quiet, green and bay water area. Not so good if you need to drive long distances, eating out and night life.
