About Arncliffe
Arncliffe is a suburb in transformation, located about 12 kilometres south of Sydney's CBD in the Rockdale area. With around 12,000 residents, it combines established residential streets with increasing new development. The suburb's excellent transport links - both rail and motorway - have made it attractive to developers and commuters alike.
The demographic is shifting as new apartment towers bring young professionals and investors, while established areas retain their family character.
