Eastwood

"A great place for all walks of life"

Eastwood is a fantastic suburb with a great shopping district. The centre has a real community feel and is positively bustling with people. The area is fantastic in particular for asian cusine (particularly Korean and Chinese, as they are the dominant ethnic groups) and cheap produce. The housing in the area caters for all budgets and needs.

For families there are plenty of gorgeous decorative federation era housing along quiet, tree lined streets, while for those with more modest budget and family size there are plenty of inexpensive unit blocks, particularly on the eastern side of the railway line.

Eastwood station is incredibly convenient, and one of the major stations on the Northern Line. It's not hard to catch inter-urban trains which stop at select stations of interest from Eastwood, making getting around Sydney (particularly to Central, Strathfield, Epping, Macquarie University/Park or the Central Coast) a much more convenient prospect from Eastwood. Note plenty of buses stop at Eastwood station which provide convenient options to get around the region.

Eastwood and the surrounding region also boast some of the best schools in NSW and indeed the country. Close by is James Ruse Argricultural High School (public selective school), literally the best school in the state by far, as measured by HSC performance. Other good schools near by include Marist College Eastwood (all boys Catholic school), not far from central Eastwood, and Epping Boys High School. Furthermore, the new railway link makes it a piece of cake to get to Macquarie University for your tertiary educational needs.

Eastwood is one of those astonishing suburbs that manages to mix quiet, attractive leafy tree lined streets with period houses on big blocks with a bustling commercial district, higher density housing options and fantastic public transport. In Eastwood, you can have your cake and eat it too.
