About Leichhardt
Leichhardt is Sydney's Little Italy, an inner-west suburb where over 15,000 residents enjoy tree-lined streets, historic terraces, and one of Australia's most celebrated Italian dining precincts. Norton Street's espresso bars and trattorias have made it a food destination for decades. The high median income reflects successful gentrification while Italian heritage endures.
Beyond Italian dining, Leichhardt offers excellent cafes, the beloved Palace Cinema, and genuine inner-west village atmosphere. The light rail improves connectivity, and the Italian Forum hosts community events. Leichhardt attracts professionals, families, and foodies who appreciate quality living with cultural character. It's inner-west Sydney at its most delicious—espresso, pasta, and village charm.
Leichhardt falls under postcode 2040 and is governed by Inner West Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Balmain electorate.
