Alexandria Suburb Profile

Once brimming with industry and warehouses, living in Alexandria reflects the transformation of this vibrant neighborhood, which has become one of Sydney’s top addresses for creatives and investors. Shaking off its industrial roots, living in Alexandria now means enjoying a dynamic mix of fashion, design, and art scenes, with an influx of designer brands, boutique showrooms, and unique outlet stores nestled amid industrial estates. Sydneysiders flock here for the vibrant café culture and renowned bakeries. 

On Alexandria’s western edge, Sydney Park offers a sprawling 40 hectares of green space with an off-leash dog area, multiple playgrounds, and cycle paths that connect to routes throughout Alexandria and neighboring suburbs. Amidst all this activity are quiet, tree-lined streets lined with Victorian and Art Deco homes, alongside converted warehouses that create a unique inner-city charm.
