Overview

Como lies 27 km south of Sydney’s CBD on the southern banks of the Georges River in the Sutherland Shire (postcode 2226). The riverside setting gives residents easy access to Bonnet Bay, Scylla Bay and Carina Bay, while local attractions such as the Edwardian‑styled Como Hotel (rebuilt in 2001 with the “Burnt Door” restaurant), the St George Rowing Club, Scylla Bay Oval and the historic Como Pleasure Grounds – home to the Como Swimming Club – provide a relaxed, outdoor‑focused lifestyle. Families benefit from two well‑regarded primary schools, Como Public School and Como West Public School, and plenty of parks including the Henry Lawson Memorial Reserve.

Como railway station sits on the Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line, about a 35‑minute ride to Central, and the original rail bridge now serves pedestrians and cyclists. The suburb’s housing stock is overwhelmingly separate houses (91.3 % of dwellings) with a high rate of home ownership and only 10.6 % rented. According to the 2021 census, 4,053 people live in Como, with English, Australian and Irish ancestry most common.
