The grand and stately inner west suburb of Strathfield is rich in history and prestige, with a showcase of fine mansions still presiding from Sydney’s early heritage.
Concentrated around a busy train station and commercial centre the area offers excellent public transport, an impressive selection of schools and eclectic choice of real estate.
Shopping is more than adequate in Strathfield. There is the main shopping hub, Strathfield Plaza with everything you need for day-to-day necessities, a variety of shops surrounding the train station, and a good selection of Asian restaurants to tempt you away dinner on the sofa.
On the other hand, if you’re searching for something special or a major retail brand, then nearby Burwood or Bankstown shopping centres are where you should head.
A selection of fine historical mansions in Strathfield have been respectfully restored to house some of the district’s best schools in Sydney including the private St Patrick’s College, Santa Sabina College, Meridan Anglican School for Girls, Trinity Grammar and St Martha’s. The area is also home to MacDonald College, Sydney’s reputable performing arts high school.
A wonderful choice of parks with pretty paths and gardens make it easy to relax, a choice of local gyms and sports centres a breeze to stay fit, and a plethora of buses and trains, to make travelling to the city as quick as a flash.
All this just 14km from the CBD, it’s no surprise Strathfield is still a popular spot, retaining it’s graceful dignity and the challenging test of time.
