About Earlwood
Earlwood is a leafy, established suburb in Sydney's inner south-west, where over 18,000 residents enjoy heritage homes and a genuine village atmosphere. The Cooks River provides its northern boundary, offering cycling paths and parkland. While the train line is a walk away at Clemton Park, buses provide reasonable connectivity.
The shopping strip along Earlwood Avenue maintains traditional village character, with local butchers, bakeries, and cafes serving the community. The Greek Orthodox presence is strong, reflected in churches and local businesses. Earlwood attracts families seeking established homes with character in a quiet neighbourhood that still feels connected. It's inner-west adjacent living without inner-west prices.
Earlwood falls under postcode 2206 and is governed by Canterbury-Bankstown Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Canterbury electorate.
