My family have lived in PUTNEY for six years. It is a fantastic waterside suburb, with plenty of green spaces, parks, walkways and sports fields.
It has excellent public transport with Kissing Point Ferry terminal, Mortlake Ferry, Meadowbank Train Station and bus services, and it’s only 10kms from Sydney CBD. It is also central to Paramatta, Macquarie shopping Mall as well as Rhodes, Top Ryde and West Ryde shopping centres. Sydney Olympic Park is also close by, making it a very well positioned suburb for commuting to/from. PUTNEY shopping Village has a number of cafes and restaurants and a friendly village vibe, and is very safe and quiet. Homes are generally substantial and on large sections, with low density housing. There has been significant gentrification of the suburb during the time we have live here with original workers cottages making way for new builds. The suburb graduates upwards from the river bank to the the top of the ridge that Morrison Road runs along providing some spectacular views. There are also some good primary and secondary schools close by, as well as the Meadowbank TAFE and Macquarie University within easy commute. A great place to live.
