About Alfords Point
Alfords Point is a leafy residential suburb in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, located approximately 28 kilometres southwest of the CBD on the southern banks of the Georges River. With a population of around 3,100, it is a quiet, predominantly owner-occupied suburb characterised by generous block sizes, bush-lined streets, and a strong family demographic. The suburb sits on a peninsula formed by the George's River, with the iconic Alfords Point Bridge connecting it to the suburb of Padstow to the north. Its elevated escarpment terrain offers bush outlooks and a sense of seclusion rarely found this close to Sydney.
Alfords Point is sought after for its tranquil lifestyle, excellent local schools, and proximity to the Georges River National Park for bush walks, kayaking, and picnicking. The suburb is home to predominantly established families who value its safe streets, community spirit, and easy access to the M5 motorway. The nearby centres of Menai and Illawong provide day-to-day retail and services, while Hurstville and Miranda offer larger shopping precincts. It appeals strongly to those seeking a suburban retreat with good road connectivity to Sydney's south.
Alfords Point falls under postcode 2234 and is governed by Sutherland Shire Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Holsworthy electorate.
