Overview

Situated just 8 km south of the CBD, Sydenham sits at the junction of the Illawarra, Airport & South and Bankstown rail lines, with Sydney Metro service at Sydenham station. The suburb grew around the late‑1800s railway and retains a blend of semi‑detached houses, terraces and apartments built after the post‑World II immigration boom. A large recreational area, Sydenham Green, occupies the former residential strip beneath the airport flight path, giving residents open space and ‘living‑room’ sculptures. In the 2021 Census the suburb recorded 1,100 residents, 58.8 % born in Australia.

Local amenities cluster around the Unwins Bridge Road and Railway Road intersection, offering a group of shops within walking distance of the station. Adjacent Marrickville provides retail along Sydenham and Marrickville Roads and the Marrickville Metro Shopping Centre. Families benefit from schools such as St Pius Catholic School and Tempe High School, while parks – Wicks, Rowswell and Tillman – deliver green leisure options.
