Suburb profile
Camellia is a welcoming smaller community in Parramatta, with a settled community character. Life revolves around the local community, with the wider region offering trips and services when needed. The community skews younger, with a community of people who commute and work locally.
Property is in demand, reflecting the appeal of living in a place people actively choose. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
Occasional new builds add variety while most of the suburb keeps its established look.
