I’ve lived in Earlwood for a little over 10 years.
I lived in Marrickville prior and couldn’t stand it The small streets that allow traffic both ways but only fit one car going one direction drove me insane. It was overcrowded and highly overrated and it’s only getting worse, far too many people in such a small area. Marrickville Metro is a nightmare.
Earlwood is much quieter, streets are wider and it’s a nice mix of the older Greek community and young families, I find it a very friendly community.
Our property backs onto the Cooks River and it’s a beautiful walk or bicycle ride for both adults and kids - sure the river is not beautiful at low tide but it’s still a lovely walk.
There’s plenty of new cafes serving great coffee if that’s your thing.
Earlwood Public School is also great.
If anything, it could probably do with better shopping ammenities, but there’s Coles here, Woolworths and Aldi at Canterbury so not too far.
Overall I think it’s a wonderful suburb and I’m surprised at the negative reviews none of them sound like Earlwood.
