The Summer Hill of Sydney

Summer Hill is primarily a residential suburb, located in the west of Sydney and bordered by suburbs of Dulwich Hill, Lewisham, Haberfield and Ashfield. A long time ago, this place was actually a fashionable and genteel suburb, and known by the name of ‘Sunning Hill’. Around then, the region served as a favourite residence of gentlemen stockbrokers and was filled with small and simple shops catering to the needs of the lower middle and working classes.

In course of time, the face of Summer Hill began to change gradually and people started flocking to the area for enjoying its unpretentious countryside atmosphere and voluminous traces of Federation and Victorian architecture as well as Italianate and Gothic Revival. Summer Hill is quite popular for as many as 131 recognised heritage-listed properties, including the stately mansions Hillingdon and Carleton.

The Town Square features a fountain and seating, and also the shopping precinct that has been developed around it. There is an independently functioning Fresco supermarket within the area bordered by the Prospect, Old Canterbury, Liverpool and Parramatta roads. One would hardly have any difficulty to find a local dentist, optometrist, green grocer or butcher around the place.
