Erskineville Summary
Unlike most inner-city Sydney suburbs, Erskineville offers a village-like appeal with green, leafy streets, some of the most famous of Sydney cafes, choice schools, and friendly neighbours. The fact that it sits within 3 short kilometres of the central business district is just one of the many perks of living in Erskineville. Working professionals love it for the culture and the proximity to the capital city for the short work commute.

Erskineville is rich with Australian history and heritage buildings, making it somewhat of a landmark all its own.
