About Bexley

Bexley is a leafy residential suburb in Sydney's St George region, where nearly 20,000 residents enjoy tree-lined streets and solid housing stock. While lacking its own train station, bus connections to Rockdale and Hurstville stations are frequent. The median income suggests comfortable middle-class demographics, and the suburb maintains a quiet, residential character.

Bexley Road shops handle local needs, while nearby Hurstville provides major retail. The Greek Orthodox community has a strong presence, reflected in local churches and businesses. Parks provide family recreation, and the suburb has a distinctly settled, established feel. Bexley attracts families seeking quiet residential living with reasonable St George accessibility. It's suburban Sydney without surprisesβ€”predictable and pleasant.
