Leichhardt Suburb Profile

Living in Leichhardt

Little Italy, Bay Run mornings.

Leichhardt is the inner west classic: Norton Street's Italian dining heritage, quiet streets of terraces and cottages, and the Bay Run's foreshore loop starting from Leichhardt Park.

Its rental market rewards presentation. Renovated terraces and townhouses lease fast to tenants who want character homes near the city.
