A village square with a fountain (and a large car park behind), a "Supa IGA" that stocks a huge variety of cheeses and imported hams, excellent independent butcher and fruit shop, Italian restaurants spilling out onto the footpath - Summer Hill is the epitome of gentrified inner west. There are enough reminders of the time when it was rougher to make it interesting, like the hulking industrial buildings facing onto the same village square. It's surrounded on three sides by less genteel suburbs (and a giant, cheap high rise development on the eastern edge), but for the most part is established enough that it does not feel under threat from them. The northern boundary with Haberfield is marked by Parramatta Road. Tiny semis, older unit blocks and new-build townhouses built on the grounds of old mansions makes it a somewhat accessible market to buy into for young families, but if you want a full sized suburban house with a yard you will need serious money.

Nice

Beautiful, quiet yet buzzing inner west suburb - has all the pros with very very minimal cons. Easy parking, shops, wine bar, pub, brand new supermarket, restaurants, post office, wine store, hairdressers and homeware stores etc. Great schools in the area, and all modes of public public transport - trains (15min to central), buses and the tram straight into China town, the casino, exhibition centre and the Fish markets. Gorgeous homes with tree lined streets. Once in a while you will get airplane noise but its nothing like Stanmore or Leichhardt. People that live in Summer Hill frequent Summer Hill and its rare to have out of towners so to speak, so its a real bonus and not overly busy with wannabe hipsters. This isn't a "loud" suburb like Newtown, so its more relaxed and chilled -ie, for the "locals" that prefer a more relaxed lifestyle with all the convenience as almost all inner west suburbs are 5-10min drive - the city is 15 min drive.

We bought a lovely townhouse here, and though we get some train and air craft noise, its a 5 star suburb in the inner west. Great lifestyle location. Everything you could want, including a supermarket, hairdressers, dentist and several cafes and resturants. Its also feels safe and clean at night. Much safer than its neighbouring suburb. Shady characters are probably outpriced out of Summer Hill hah!

We also have great, welcoming neighbours who invite us over for drinks!

Look forward to being able to afford a big house here in 10 years when we have a growing family.

Love it. I'm early 30's and have bought and lived here for 4 years after renting across the inner west (Concord, Chippendale, Newtown, Alexandria & Lilyfield). We were wanting to buy in Alexandria / Erskineville but found better value here and do not regret it - it's better. The village has everything you could want - plenty of cafes, a pub, great shops and enough restaurants to satisfy. There really is no need to leave. All this and its only 15-20 min on the train to the city. Its also a very family friendly place and shines in summer when a typical Saturday night will see kids dancing to live jazz in the town square while the restaurants spill onto the street. Summer Hill offers a relaxed cafe-culture and is one of the best-kept secrets in the inner west. If you've ever passed-by on the train and wondered what was there, stop in and check it out. Not too busy, not to slow - its just right.

Summer Hill is a delight, truly. Once the getaway place for stressed out Victorians looking for an escape from city pressures, Summer Hill now represents part of the inner western fringe lying just beyond the city centre: hardly a blissful retreat. Yet, somehow, it is more peaceful in Summer Hill than any surrounding suburbs, Filled with Victorian terraces and Art Deco blocks of 4 (two up, two down in heavy double-brick construction), it's elegant and quaint with beautiful tree lined streets and a village atmosphere.

Summer Hill has a handy train station on the all stops to Liverpool line and offers a small shopping strip, village style, with just a single cute little supermarket. Young people like the proximity to town, families the village atmosphere and older people the peacefulness.

Summer Hill is located in the inner west of Sydney. As a typical inner west suburb, the streets are very narrow and the dwellings are a combination of older style units and federation houses. Many of the houses in Summer Hill are heritage listed and very beautiful.

As compared to its neighbour, Ashfield, Summer Hill is quite a small suburb. The main street only has a handful of shops, a supermarket and one or two cafes. There is also a pub and a train station. Apart from that, it is a quiet suburb that does not evoke any excitement from its visitors.
