Camperdown Suburb Profile 

Camperdown is a bustling enclave of higher learning. Living in Camperdown means being close to the University of Sydney and the prestigious training hospital, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, both recognized on the world stage as leaders in education and healthcare. With an enrolment of over 50,000 students, the University of Sydney contributes to the prominent student culture that consumes the streets of Camperdown. Professionals and hipsters have a strong foothold here too, drawn to the stylish bistros, bars, and cafés that are scattered throughout the area. 

For the active, Camperdown Park is the place to be, with its sporting oval, tennis and basketball courts. Next door, Camperdown Bowling Club has been transformed into a community hub, Camperdown Commons, a place where locals can relax, grab a bite to eat, or participate in community workshops and classes. Towards Newtown, the historic Camperdown Memorial Park hosts the annual Newtown Festival, but on every other day, the park is popular with locals and their four-legged friends. 

Bordered by Newtown and Glebe, locals have their pick of world-class dining, quirky establishments, and a thriving, eclectic arts scene. Living in Camperdown offers easy access to Sydney’s CBD and the well-serviced educational corridor along Broadway, giving residents unparalleled access to some of the finest inner-city offerings.
