Glebe Sydney will always be the heartland for its tertiary students, but the gentle tide of gentrification has well and truly washed over this inner-western suburb.

Sydney University, The University of Technology, Sydney, The University of Notre Dame and Ultimo TAFE are all within walking distance of the cheap student eats and cosy cafes that Glebe is home to.

Terrace row homes are a popular staple of the suburb, many of which have been carefully renovated. Heritage-listed Georgian villas also co-exist with brown brick apartment blocks, and many of them sport water views.

The Glebe foreshore has been transformed into a 2.5-kilometre path that’s popular with pedestrians and cyclists wanting an easy and scenic commute to the Sydney CBD.

The revamped Broadway Shopping Centre is a must-go for shopaholic locals and visitors alike. On the other side of the suburb, you’ll find Tramsheds with more than 10 different restaurants for picky dinner parties to choose from. Glebe Point Road is a stretch of delicious food and dining options, including a string of vegan choices near Glebe Primary School. On Saturday, the school comes alive for the Glebe Markets, a popular spot for second-hand goods and tasty food stalls.
