About Matraville
Matraville is an established eastern suburbs community located 9 kilometres south of Sydney's CBD in the Randwick local government area. With nearly 10,000 residents, this diverse suburb offers surprisingly affordable housing compared to neighbouring beach suburbs while maintaining excellent connectivity and amenities. The area has evolved from its industrial heritage into a family-focused community with improving streetscapes and local facilities.

The University of NSW is just a short bus ride away, bringing students and academics to the area.
