About Mortdale

Mortdale offers village-scale living in Sydney's St George region about 18 kilometres south of the CBD. This suburb of roughly 10,700 residents centres on a friendly main street with local shops, cafes, and a community atmosphere unusual for suburban Sydney. The train line provides easy city access.

The village feel is genuine - shopkeepers know regulars, neighbours chat on the street, and community events draw crowds. Families appreciate the safe, friendly environment and good schools. The demographic mixes long-term residents with younger families who discovered the value proposition. It's old-fashioned suburban community at its best, without the isolation that often implies.

Mortdale falls under postcode 2223 and is governed by Georges River Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Oatley electorate.
