Leichhardt Sydney – is unofficially known as the “Little Italy”. The influx of Italians occurred just after the end of World War II, and Italian is still the second most common language spoken here after English (though it is a distant second place with just 7% of the population speaking it). Leichhardt’s Italian character is fading as this desirable suburb gentrifies and attracts a younger, hipper crowd. However, it still has a tight-knit community vibe where residents rave about their friendly neighbours.
Away from Norton Street are tree-lined residential blocks full of modest (but not cheap) Federation-style bungalows and low-rise apartments. You’ll find a range of houses for sale in Leichhardt Sydney, perfect for those seeking a blend of heritage and modern living.
Leichhardt is bordered on the north by Lilyfield, on the east by Annandale, on the south by Petersham and Lewisham, and on the west by Haberfield.
