All About Marrickville, Inner West, NSW, 2204

Marrickville is a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, located just 7 kilometres from the central business district. Marickville is bounded by the Cooks River to the south-east, and is an incredibly diverse suburb in terms of lifestyle and character, with regions across the suburb ranging between low and high density residential, commercial and industrial areas. Officially gazetted in 1861, schools and a post office quickly opened in 1864 and 1865 respectively, with a railway line running through the suburb being completed 30 years later. In recent years, Marrickville has undergone a deal of gentrification, becoming something of a hub for the arts and seeing a growing number of emerging eateries and shops of varying styles.

The diversity of the suburb in terms of industry and residential areas provide a mixture of local jobs and accommodation, making it an excellent place to live in terms of work. Additionally, proximity to the centre of Sydney and excellent connections therein by rail and road make it a hub for those who regularly commute into the central business district. The convenience and variety offered by the suburb, coupled with the vibrancy of the culture found threaded throughout the area make it a wonderful place to own property.
