About Hurlstone Park

Hurlstone Park is a compact inner-west suburb of Sydney, located approximately 10 kilometres southwest of the CBD within the Inner West Council area. With around 5,000 residents and a median income of $51,000, the suburb has quietly gentrified while maintaining its multicultural character and mix of housing from Federation-era cottages to post-war apartments.

The suburb punches above its weight with its charming village centre along Crinan Street, featuring independent cafes, restaurants, and specialty shops. Hurlstone Park station on the Bankstown Line provides easy CBD access, while the Cooks River cycleway offers recreation and active transport options. The area attracts young professionals and families priced out of neighbouring Marrickville and Dulwich Hill, appreciating its community feel, heritage streetscapes, and proximity to inner-city amenities.

Hurlstone Park falls under postcode 2193 and is governed by Inner West Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Summer Hill electorate.
