John Street

"Easily one of the best streets in Tempe"

John Street is a quiet cul de sac with very little traffic. The people are great, but not in your face. you are within easy walking distance to the station & the bus stop. Marrickville Road is about a 15 minute walk & you could walk to Newtown in about 40 minutes or drive there in about 5 minutes. There is some aircraft noise, but after a while you don't even notice it. The houses are large with good size yards Ideal for pets or kids.

Tempe

"Very Close to the CBD & suburbs such as Newtown, Erskineville & Marrickville"

Tempe itself may not have an abundance of stores & restaurants within a 5 minute walk, however it is ideally placed to Newtown & Marrickville so that numerous restaurants & shops are within a couple of kilometres. The main street in Marrickville is easily within walking distance. Tempe is also one of the safest areas 'crime wise' in the Marrickville Council area. Yes there is no disputing that there is aircraft noise in some pockets, but personally this is a small price to pay to live in a large house with a large yard within 5 minutes of Newtown & Marrickville & 20 minutes of the CBD.
One of Sydney's most affordable & best kept secrets!

Here is why we bought in Tempe and why we want to stay. I have been pretty mobile till here, lived in Glebe, Forest Lodge, Ultimo, Ryde, Kurrajong, Sylvania, Hurstville, Chifley and Elizabeth Bay. Tempe leaves all these areas for dead. Funny it is still undiscovered, but I doubt will be for that much longer.
5 minutes drive to Marrickville Metro which has Woolies and an Aldi (and RTA) easy parking. 15
minutes walk. “12” minutes direct line to Town Hall, 10 minutes to Central. If you work in the city and catch the
8.45 train you are at work in the City by 9.00am.

The Bus goes to city, circular quay, Broadway, Newtown. (10 minutes to Newtown) or $12 cab fare
5 minutes drive to Vibrant Marrickville, Earlwood. From Tempe you can get to the beach in
Maroubra, Brighton or Coogee In Under 15 minutes Fox Studios in 15 minutes
To the M5 to go north or west within 5 minutes. Around 15 minutes, to Hurstville, Glebe,
Moorepark / Bondi Junction. Ashfield, Broadway, Harbour Bridge, etc. (try it).
10 minutes max to the airport with NO flight Path at the southern end of tempe (another great
myth) as the flight path is incoming over Sydnenham.

Dining/Delivery;
Tempe is uniquely positioned as Newtown, St Peters, Earlwood, Dulwich Hill, Marrickville
restaurants all deliver to here. We can get the best, Greek, Vietnamese, Indian, Thai, Pizza from the innerwest as they are all 5-10 minutes in different directions around us. Something I could not get in Glebe (Eg, Earlwood restaurants don’t deliver to Newtown and Vica Versa. The best pizza in Sydney is Elvis Pizza (Earlwood). Best Thai in Sydney is St Peters end of Newtown Thai Patong.
The Southern Cross Hotel is 5 minutes drive up the road and the restaurant bistro is awesome. They actually also deliver to us also. All of the above are a 5 minute drive for dinner, or $10 cab fare. (or $3 on the bus). The best Seafood Market is just up the road in Sydenham (one street behind Sydenham Station). It is a mini seafood markets and a very popular little gem for locals.

The Harp has great Irish Food, German Club, great German food, the newly $1million renovated
Stella Inn is family friendly and has great $10 menu including great steaks. St George Rowing Club over the bridge is really family friendly. For late night snacks. Dino’s
actually make great burgers, Pide or Pizza. 24 hour services station

For the Drinkers
3 liquorlands within a 3 KM Radius, The wine society, or Dan Murphies is about 7 minutes drive.
2 other bottle shops (Harp and Stella Inn) . Bunnings is 5 minutes away next to the new Sydney
Sunday Markets in Waterloo, with all that other shopping stuff
Some unknown facts;
South Tempe gets very little plane noise and no above flight path traffic. A large majority of
Innerwest flight path is landing and comes over Sydenham (and very north Tempe) We cannot hear landing aircraft whatsoever. I get less flight noise here than
anywhere I lived in Sydney in the last 10 years, which included Forest Lodge, Glebe, Ultimo,
Kensington. Tempe Primary and High Schools are great. Several other close schools around .

Things to Come;
Marrickville Water Play Park opens end 2010
Brand New Swimming Complex up the road at Enmore (5 minutes drive max).
Discovery Point due to develop stage 3, Proposed Restaurant Strip along waterfront Dining
Ikea December 2010 great shopping up the road.
Significant development around the area, still undervalued, growth to come.
