Concord is one of the most desirable suburbs of the Inner West, offering a relaxed and enjoyable lifestyle. Nicknamed the “Parkland Suburb”, Concord has twelve parks covering 25% of its 5 square km area. The suburb demographic is dominated by 52% of its residents being couples with children – Concord is the perfect place to live and raise a family. Concord is a melting pot of cultures. At the 2011 census it was found that the 42.2 % of residents speak a language other than English at home, with mother tongues including Italian, Greek, Mandarin, Cantonese and Arabic. The suburb’s school include Concord Public School, Mortlake Public School, St Mary’s Primary School, and Concord High.

Concord is the perfect suburb for families with children both primary school age and growing into young adults, with a range of primary schools that are easy to commute to, and Concord High School’s well-known and successful Gifted and Talented education program. The City of Canada Bay Museum lies in Bent Street, displaying precious items of Australia and Sydney’s past, including original material from the First and Second World Wars as well as Arnott’s and Bushells memorabilia.

The famous Victa lawnmower was invented in a Concord garage in 1952, and the original Victa mower can be found at the Museum.

Concord is also home to heritage sites such as the Thomas Walker Estate, now part of Concord Hospital. With the Yaralla Cottages on the Walker Estate and the Yaralla House itself in neighbouring Concord West, the City of Canada Bay Heritage Society works to preserve these precious Edwardian estates that bring up Concord’s name in important tales of Sydney’s history. Walker Estate now makes up part of Concord Hospital, a great general hospital just a short drive away from any house.
