Sylvania is a suburb in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire region located on the Georges River. This is a family-friendly area with family-sized homes and properties. Many of the waterfront houses have their own docks, but landlocked water enthusiasts have a local marina where they can dock their boats.

Sylvania is predominantly residential, though it’s got two main commercial areas along the primary road through town, Princes Highway. Head southwest on Princes Highway, and you’ll run into many restaurants, including pizza, Japanese, and Chinese, a fitness centre, and several shops and services. Other businesses are sprinkled throughout the suburb.

Sylvania is bordered on the north by Kangaroo Point and the Georges River, on the east by Sylvania Waters, on the south by Miranda and Gymea, and on the west by Kareela and the Georges River.
