Zetland and Victoria Park in particular is a great inner Sydney suburb to live in. It really is pretty much central to most things - including being only 1 stop to Central Station from the nearby Green Square station.
Some of the more recent apartments can be small in size, but the older ones from Phase 1 or 2 of Victoria Park are great, spacious and low rise. Those facing Joynton Avenue look out onto a street lined with beautiful fig trees.
The area has 2 restaurants (Pizza & Thai) ; a bottle shop and 4 cafes including one of Sydney's best - Allpress on Epsom Road; and a couple of convenience stores. Also located in Victoria Park is a Medial Centre & a Dentist. Plus the Moore Park Supacentre is a 5 minute walk on the other side of South Dowling Street.
Nearby Elizabeth Street has an art gallery and the local pub , the Zetland Hotel, which has a beer garden.
A new shopping centre called "East Village" is under construction and is expected to open in 2013.
There are 5 parks in the area that offer facilities such as BBQ & picnic areas, children's playgrounds, community vege patches, toilets, basketball courts, off leash areas for dogs, water features, a kiosk for hire and covered areas.
Victoria Park also has real estate agents, a Library and the City of Sydney Green Square neighbourhood office. The closet school is the Green Square Public School.
