The demure suburb of Enfield may be small in size but has a big heart and much to offer residents. It is situated between the larger commercial centres of Strathfield and Burwood, and is only thirteen kilometers south-west of Sydney’s CBD.

The suburb has something for everyone with a wide range of housing options available in the area. Many older homes boast larger sized blocks and leafy gardens. The architecture is a mix of Californian bungalows, contemporary houses and units, both older style and modern. A large percentage of residents are home -owners which creates a sense of civic pride that pervades the petite suburb. There is also a small commercial area conveniently located along Liverpool Rd, centred on the intersection with Coronation Parade & The Boulevard.

Enfield is thought to be named after the pretty market town north of London. Settlement of the area dates from the 1790s when the first land grants were made. Growth took place during the early 1800s, with land used mainly for farming, vegetable growing and timber sourcing. By the 1840s a small village had formed at Enfield, this village would continue to grow throughout the post war years and 1960s. As new dwellings were added to the area, particularly medium and high density housing, more people from around the world chose to make Enfield their home.

The suburb appeals to a mixed demographic and residents range from all ages and nationalities. Young professionals find its proximity to the city appealing, whilst growing families appreciate the proximity to a selection of schools. There are two local primary schools within walking distance; Enfield Public School and St Josephs Catholic Primary School. Additionally both South Strathfield Public School and High School are nearby.
