Summer Hill

If the name "Summer Hill" conjures up images of an idyllic place, then thankfully this suburb won't let you down. This is a relaxed neighborhood with a village-like atmosphere. The town center has all of your basic needs covered: a grocery store, chemist, bank, restaurants, cafes, and a pub…all within a few minutes' walk of each other.

Once you get past the compact center you'll find quiet, tree-lined streets full of homes. There's a mix of charming one-story Federation-style bungalows and low-rise Art Deco apartments, as well as the occasional Victorian-style mansion. Each year the suburb hosts the Neighborhood Feast, a street festival with food stalls, entertainers, and games.

Summer Hill is located 7 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Inner West Council, it’s an easy train ride of only 25 minutes.
