We lived in a few suburbs up north and inner west and honestly what we get in Sutherland and close by suburbs is awesome. Plus we live in a more spacious house close to bush and view of the Woronora river.

We moved from the Inner West to Sutherland 2 years ago in 2021 as we wanted more space and more peace.

We live in a beautiful pocket closer to the Woronora side; it's close to parks, ovals, tennis courts and we have fantastic bushwalks right at our doorstep. It's clean, well maintained and safe. We are surrounded by trees and wildlife, but we are still close to all amenities - walking distance to the train (10 mins) and town centre. Train is 30 mins to CBD and very frequent, with 2 carparks - free for train commuters.

There is a great buzz with the Saturday markets and the proximity to neighbouring suburbs is a huge plus, with a selection of cafes, shops, walks, parks and events; Westfield, Bourke Street bakery and a number of breweries next door at Kirrawee! Woronora river and BBQ area is close-by and Cronulla beach 15 min drive.

Neighbourhood is starting to see more younger families, couples and professionals move in. Even in the couple of years we have been here, we've seen the suburb evolving with some cool new eateries and the completion of the Arts theatre in the town. Property is still good value but has been increasing. We've made a number of new friends here and its really proven to be a hidden gem for us!

We were a little apprehensive moving to Sutherland from Sylvania but we couldn’t be happier with our decision! Convenience is outstanding - walk to the Sutherland station for the express train to the city, our kids catch the bus/train for school & Uni. Everything you need is on hand - good cafes (7th Heaven, Eliette, White Horse on Flora, Oak Davis …the list goes on!) Saturday Sutherland Farmer’s Markets. Shops (Coles, IGA + South Village), Leisure Centre, parks, gyms. It’s leafy, quiet & safe!

As a local resident and real estate agent, I have a good idea of what Sutherland has to offer. With plenty of local schools, cafes, restaurants and a main train station hub, Sutherland epitomises easy living. Sutherland has plenty of development coming to the area, and will be a thriving suburb for many years to come. Prices tend to be more affordable than eastern suburbs of the Sutherland Shire and still is only a 10-15 minute drive to Cronulla beaches.

Moving from Inner West and working in the CBD as a Professional - 32 minutes on fast train is great. Also being in a house with a gorgeous big yard was foreign to us moving from Inner west, now we wake up to the beautiful birds and appreciate and love being surrounded by open space such as parks, rivers, beaches. It creates such a beautiful and peaceful feeling. It is great to walk to shops and station and be so close to beaches, National Park, Wononora River and Miranda Westfield. Every Saturday there is Shire Farmers Markets creates a really nice vibe to the community. The council organise Community events such as Music in Peace Park with a Tapas Bar and they also have a Wine and Beer Tasting Festival in Peace Park every year - it’s fantastic. Great shopping strip with Coles and specialty shops, pubs and cafes. The council announced a Water Park is to built in the Sutherland Leisure Centre. This suburb is evolving. Demographic is quite narrow though, mostly with a white conservative culture. Be prepared to experience or witness some racism.

It's a nice area, walking distance too shops and supermarkets, not too far from the city, beats the inner city, not many cockroaches, not much aircraft noise, now it's a bit expensive.

The area feels insular at times but it's safe with great people. Personal bias is Parramatta is better and same travel time to the CBD and less insular feeling. But Sutherland is nice , clean and safe for everyone.

Good place for families, retirees and those that work in the City, but don't want to pay too much.
Has the basics (e.g. bank, supermarket, hair dressers), but close to the major shopping centre in Miranda.
Demographic is quite narrow though, mostly with a white conservative culture (be prepared to experience some racism).


Transport
Sits on the South Coast line. Frequent trains to and from the City, with approximately 40 minutes travel time.
Frequent buses and easily accessible.
Not many taxis or uber drivers around.

Lifestyle, Shopping and Entertainment
Not much in Sutherland itself, there's a farmers market every Saturday.
Plenty of gyms around and parks.
Close to Cronulla beach and Miranda Westfield shopping centre.
Strong sports culture with support of teams nearby (i.e. Cronulla sharks)
Nightlife
Most of Sutherland is closed at night, the exception being the convenience stores, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and takeaway shops.

Sutherland is a good area for first home buyers, I have a unit in the area. You can get to work in the city in 30 minutes. They also have good gyms and shops. They need a nice bar or cafe which offers brunch options are limited. Also less junkies are around recently, unit prices are going up far more professional types in the area.

We made the move from the inner west a few years ago. We moved from a tiny place to a lovely house with a yard and pool for the kids, National Park and River on the doorstep, south coast beaches close by and lovely little school everywhere.
It's 30 mins by train in to the city so the commute is no longer than when we were in the inner west!
We have wonderful like-minded neighbours from all over the world- England, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Scotland, Samoa as well as from all over Australia, who have all moved here over the last few years for the same reasons we did - it's the perfect location. We know all our neighbours which is lovely.
The night life is fairly non-existent that's true, though there are some great restaurants - Little Italy, Sushi train, Doytao Thai as well as others within a couple of kms.
In the last 12 months Superbarn has moved in as well as an Egyptian deli, a patisserie and some new restaurants. The council has also recently repaved and greened up the area with a lot of tree planting.
The pre-schools and primary schools are so lovely. Beautiful, caring teachers at all the places we have been involved with.
We are so glad we made the move and the area is just getting better all the time.

Sutherland borders Royal National Park & is 30 minutes by rail to Sydney CBD, with a multitude of sporting facilities such as- Sealed push bike track & numerous bush trails, Aussie Rules field, Soccer, Rugby League & Athletics track, Olympic Swimming Pool complex, Tennis Courts & Basketball Stadium.
Variety of restuarants in the shopping centre from Thai, Chinese, Indian to Contemporary cuisine.
Day to day shopping will be enhanced with the Opening of "Supabarn" supermarket in August 2010 with Iconic buildings such as newly constructed Sequoia are offering living choices for all types.

I lived in Sutherland for about two years.

Advantages:
- You can get the country trains into the city, they take only 35 mins
- Close to the national park
- Sutherland Leisure centre is great
- Cronulla is 15 mins away

Disadvantages
- Totally whitebread, with no character
- Everything shuts early, as thought it's 1975. Nothing is open on Sunday
- Food is average
- White Horse cafe is good, but that's all there is. Cronulla is the closest place with decent cafes.
- Bogans and dodgy crack fiends abound.

I've lived in Sutherland for a number of years. I've experienced quiet a few suburbs in Sydney but i have to say i keep coming back here. It's 15min drive to the beach, 5min to Westfield Miranda and the public transport is great.
I feel safe to walk the streets at night and it's affordable for a young professioanl like me.
From here i get to enjoy the shire but i'm not too far away from the city and i'm not broke!

I've lived in Sutherland for my whole life and will never leave! After a few experiences in the west and east areas of Sydney, this is a great place to be.

It has a leafy and green aspect (in parts), great council facilities - libraries, leisure centres, skate parks etc. Majority of neighbours are friendly, and if you have lived in the area long enough - the world is a small world and most people know someone who knows someone! Miranda has all the shops you need, and most town centre (Sutherland, Jannali, etc) have post offices, banks, grocery stores, hairsalons, buthers etc etc...you never need to leave!

Sutherland is fantastic in terms of public transport - three train lines via Sutherland so there is always a train available..There are also buses available.

In terms of dining, there is some fantastic eats around the area all waiting to be found.

Having the beach so close yet not so busy as Bondi etc, living in the "Shire" is definitely great for those who commute yet want the lifestyle on the weekends..

There are schools for almost any type of family - public, private, catholic etc...

Sporting activities are great and there is always something going on around the place...

Rents in the area are reasonable, lots of apartment buildings, however some nice leafy hidden areas with nice houses.

Great Leisure Centre with pool, gym and massage therapy, probably more but I didn’t use it. Largest Soccer Association in the Southern Hemisphere, with North Sutherland Rockets based in Sutherland (there might be a few others, but I'm not sure).

A good feed in a walkable distance is a bit hard to find, except for The Royal Hotel - great bistro there, and during the day the best sushi place in Sydney Sushi Yummy.

Train Station is great, longest wait for a train to the City is about 10-15mins and that is on a Saturday Night, Peak Hour trains come every 5mins.
