About Rhodes
Rhodes has transformed from industrial wasteland to high-rise destination over two decades, occupying a peninsula in the Parramatta River about 12 kilometres west of Sydney's CBD. This suburb of roughly 11,500 residents features dense apartment towers around a shopping centre and waterfront parkland. Part of Canada Bay council, it represents one of Sydney's more dramatic urban renewals.
Young professionals and families are drawn by the train access, shopping convenience, and waterfront setting. The demographic skews young and diverse, with significant Asian-Australian population. Life centres on the shopping centre, waterfront walks, and ferry trips to the city. It's not everyone's cup of tea - the density is confronting for traditional suburbanites - but for those who want convenience without a car, it works.
Rhodes falls under postcode 2138 and is governed by Canada Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Drummoyne electorate.
