Glebe

Glebe is an inner-western suburb about 3 kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD, in the City of Sydney local government area. It is bounded to the north by Blackwattle Bay and Rozelle Bay, inlets of Sydney Harbour, with Ultimo to the east and Annandale and Forest Lodge to the west. At the 2021 census 11,680 people lived here.

Its southern boundary is formed by Parramatta Road and Broadway, and its main street is Glebe Point Road.

Glebe has several heritage-listed buildings, such as Bidura on Glebe Point Road and the Bellevue house in Blackwattle Park, now a café. At the 2021 census, 44.5% of residents attending an educational institution were at a university or other tertiary or technical institution.

Glebe Point Road has a shopping strip known for its specialty shops, cafés and restaurants of many cuisines, and the City of Sydney runs a Glebe Library branch. Broadway Shopping Centre, with a food court and cinema, is at the southern edge.

• Inner West Light Rail: two stops in the suburb, Glebe and Jubilee Park; the trip from Glebe to Central station takes just under 20 minutes.
• Buses: route 431 runs from Martin Place via Broadway and Glebe Point Road to Glebe Point, and route 433 from Railway Square along Glebe Point Road towards Balmain.
• Broadway and Central station are within walking or cycling distance.

Much of the housing is Victorian terraces, cottages and villas. At the south-eastern end, the Glebe Estate is an area of public (Housing Commission) properties, mainly low-density terraces and cottages similar to the surrounding private houses. Rents in the City of Sydney area are above the Greater Sydney median (see below).

Schools in the suburb include Glebe Public School (Glebe Point Road), Forest Lodge Public School, St James Catholic School and St Scholastica's College. Use the NSW School Finder to check the catchment school for an address. Jubilee Park and Bicentennial Park lie on the harbour foreshore.
