Strathfield

Strathfield is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, 13.8 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD, and the administrative centre of the Municipality of Strathfield. At the 2021 census it had 25,915 residents. Its population is diverse: 34.6% of residents were born in Australia, and the most common other countries of birth were Nepal, China, India, South Korea and Vietnam.

Strathfield grew as a residential suburb from the late 19th century around its railway station, and was long regarded as a sought-after address, with large homes on streets such as Strathfield Avenue. In the early 20th century much of the municipality was proclaimed a residential district. Subdivision has since reduced lot sizes and increased residential density.

• Strathfield station is a major interchange on the Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink networks, served by several suburban lines as well as intercity and interstate services.
• Main roads include Concord Road and The Boulevarde (north–south) and Raw Square at the town centre.

Housing includes large older houses on established streets as well as denser housing built through later subdivision. In April–June 2026 the median rent for new bonds in the Municipality of Strathfield was below the Greater Sydney median (see below).

The suburb has several independent and church-affiliated schools. Use the NSW School Finder to check the catchment school for a specific address.
