Zetland Suburb Profile

Living in Zetland

Green Square's masterplanned heart.

Zetland sits at the centre of Green Square, one of Australia's biggest urban renewal projects. The library, the plaza, the aquatic centre and East Village give it infrastructure most suburbs wait decades for.

Rental demand runs deep in the new apartment stock, and owners benefit from a tenant pool that skews professional and long-staying.
