Stanmore, NSW 2048

With its ornate period homes, small but welcoming local village and laidback vibe, Stanmore is a sought-after Inner West haven that’s a little quieter than some of its neighbours yet with plenty of gems to discover.

Full of friendly residents who clearly love their suburb, including an influx of young families and professionals, it's a neighbourhood with a great community feel.

Percival Street is home to a cluster of charming shops including some interesting specialty stores and an emerging dining scene. Park yourself at one of several rustic cafes that exude urban cool, treat yourself to a meal at foodie's favourite restaurant Sixpenny or enjoy the neighbourhood pub vibe of the Salisbury Hotel. 

Stanmore's streets are lined with Victorian and Federation semis, terraces and cottages, all of which add to the ambience. Smack bang in the middle of the suburb lies Weekley Park, a classic village green with towering trees, a blooming rose garden, chess tables and a playground.

Stanmore's convenience to the city is a huge drawcard, with a great public transport network of both trains and buses making it a quick and easy trip to the CBD. It's also close to other much-loved Inner West villages each with their own distinct flavour, including multicultural Leichhardt and Marrickville, trendy Enmore and bustling Newtown with its thriving arts and live music scene.

Good local schools are an incentive for the many families who have largely replaced the student population who flocked to the area thanks to its proximity to Sydney University. These include Stanmore Public School, with its beautiful old school building, Kegworth Public School, St Michael's Catholic Primary School, St Fiacre's Catholic Primary School, Sydney Secondary College Leichhardt Campus, Fort Street High School and exclusive boys' school Newington College.
