About Alexandria
Alexandria is a dynamic inner-southern suburb of Sydney, located just 4-5 kilometres from the CBD within the City of Sydney council area.

The suburb blends converted warehouses, modern apartments, and creative spaces, attracting a young, professional demographic with high median incomes.
Modern Alexandria offers an enviable lifestyle combining urban convenience with creative edge. The area features Sydney Park's green spaces, boutique cafes, and excellent transport links including Green Square station. It attracts young professionals, couples, and creatives who appreciate warehouse conversions, proximity to the airport, and easy CBD access. The suburb has retained some industrial character while embracing its new identity as a sought-after residential hotspot.
