Suburb profile
In Georges River, Connells Point is a settled mid-sized suburb with a familiar suburban feel and good links to the wider city. The city and surrounding suburbs are both within comfortable reach, which keeps daily life flexible. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with a strong presence of young families throughout.
Local shops and services cover the basics well, with more choice a short trip into neighbouring suburbs. Green space is a real strength, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Getting around the metro area is straightforward, with transport tying neighbouring communities together.
Housing carries a premium, but residents tend to feel the lifestyle justifies the commitment. Construction and infill projects are noticeably reshaping parts of the area.
On the desirability index, the suburb sits around average overall, mainly because local dining and lifestyle amenities and transport and access lag similar metro suburbs, despite relative strength in community and employment and safety. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.
