"The King of Gentrification"
Well-knit community, dynamic shopping and dining options and a love for parks, aquatic centre and community hubs, Marrickville is so family friendly and every week I find myself inside a new cafe, restaurant or bar. It's a suburb of tradition, yet aspiring, innovative and creative for the young and middle-aged!
What's more to offer in the future?
Marrickville will have a world-class metro railway system (Sydney Metro) with a train at least every 4 minutes in peak hours, taking you into Sydney CBD in less than 10 minutes. Marrickville will also be home to a state-of-the-art library hub (designed through competition). Marrickville will also benefit from nearby Sydenham Creative Hub (a masterplanned area for the best of Sydney's live entertainment precinct).

"Serene and friendly"
Low density suburb with countless range of cafe's on the rise. Many streets are wide and tree-lined, parks and recreational facilities are abundant. Earlwood is undergoing gentrification, both in terms of newly rebuilt houses, more shops with a wave of new people transforming Earlwood for the better.
