About Eastwood

Eastwood is a bustling multicultural suburb where over 18,000 residents enjoy one of Sydney's most authentic Korean communities alongside established Chinese and Australian populations. The train station provides good connectivity, though it's the dining and shopping that really draw visitors. The median income reflects a diverse mix from students to professionals.

The strip shopping along Rowe Street is outstanding—Korean BBQ, Chinese restaurants, bubble tea shops, and Asian grocers that make Eastwood a food destination. The granny smith apple was developed here, commemorated in an annual festival. Eastwood attracts Asian-Australian families, students, and food lovers seeking authentic flavours in suburban surroundings. It's multicultural Sydney at its most delicious.

Eastwood falls under postcode 2122 and is governed by Parramatta Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ryde electorate.
