Rozelle sydney

Rozelle – owes its name to a flock of birds. Originally, parrots found on Rose Hill in nearby Parramatta earned the moniker Rose-hillers, which morphed to Rosella, and one more spelling change later, Rozelle was born. Though it shares a peninsula with the upscale suburbs of Balmain and Birchgrove, the Rozelle is decidedly more laid back. Sure, you’ll still find Victorian-style houses for sale in Rozelle that cost a pretty penny, but with the price, you get great parks, safety, and walkability.

Housing-wise, you’ll mostly find two-story Victorian-style terraces and single-story cottages. However, the west side of the suburb is dominated by new mid-rise apartment complexes.

Rozelle is bordered on the north by Balmain, on the east by White Bay and Jones Bay, on the south by Rozelle Bay, and on the west by Lilyfield.
