Croydon CityGuide

Croydon is a suburb in the inner-west of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Croydon is located 11 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district. Croydon is split between the two local government areas of Burwood Council and the Municipality of Ashfield.

Nestled between the commercial centres of Ashfield and Burwood, Croydon is a quiet village-like suburb with mostly detached housing built in the early part of the 20th century in what is known as Federation or California Bungalow styles. The suburb is bounded by Parramatta Road to the north, Iron Cove Creek to the east, Arthur Street to the south and a number of different streets to the west. To the north are Kings and Canada Bays on the closest reach of the Parramatta River, to the northwest is Concord Hospital and the Olympic Games complex at Homebush Bay. To the south is Canterbury Racecourse.

Croydon has a small shopping strip on The Strand, close to Croydon railway station. A number of small businesses, restaurants and cafes are located here. Croydon was the site of the Western Suburbs Hospital which closed in the 1990s and has been replaced with an aged care facility and community health centre.

Croydon features many of the inner west's most sought-after addresses due to its grand homes, larger blocks and family friendly streetscapes. As of 2006, the majority of dwellings were separate houses (67.5%).

Croydon is a quiet village-like suburb with mostly detached housing built in the early part of the 20th century in what is known as Federation or California Bungalow styles.

As of December 2007, the median house price of Croydon stood at $715,000
