Neighbourhoods
We live at the northern-most end of Alexandria, near Redfern Station - the second largest train station in Sydney. Everything is easy to get to using Redfern Station's network of public transport.
Down the other end of Alexandria is Sydney Park - one of the most beautiful parklands in Sydney. To get there, take a walk down Mitchell Road and make sure to grab a coffee or breakfast at one of the many places along the way.
Alexandria has an industrial history. To see that history come to life, check out the South Eveleigh precinct opposite our place. Industrial architecture has been beautifully maintained or molded with modern finishes to create a funky precinct complete with restaurants, bars, shops, gyms and offices.
Finally, if you're chasing the most instagrammable place in Sydney, look no further than The Grounds of Alexandria. It needs no introduction - you have to see it to believe it.
The best way to get around the neighbourhood is to walk. It's a safe area with lots of friendly dogs, young families and professionals.
