Overview

Redfern lies just 3 km south of Sydney’s CBD in the City of Sydney council, with the historic Redfern railway station anchoring a major commuter hub on the Sydney Trains network. The station is the first stop south of Central and provides the quickest link to the University of Sydney’s Camperdown campus, while a steady stream of commuters moves along Lawson Street each morning. The suburb’s main commercial spine runs along Redfern Street, complemented by nearby precincts on Regent and surrounding streets, where the TNT towers and recent residential blocks shape a vibrant skyline. Green open‑space is centred on Redfern Park and its adjoining Redfern Oval, offering sport, recreation and a backdrop to community events.

At the 2021 census Redfern housed 13,072 residents, many of whom live in the high‑density mix that now defines the area: 68.1 % of dwellings are flats and 28.6 % are semi‑detached or terrace houses. Victorian terraced homes sit alongside newer medium‑ and high‑rise apartments, reflecting ongoing gentrification and redevelopment. A rich tapestry of faith communities is evident in churches such as St Vincent de Paul Catholic, St Saviour’s Anglican and St George Antiochian Orthodox, while local shops, schools and cultural venues round out a suburb where historic roots and modern urban living coexist.
