St George
Hurstville Grove
A small, leafy enclave between Hurstville and Oatley, with Federation cottages and post-war brick homes on quiet bushland-fringed streets. Hurstville Grove is one of the smallest and most tightly-held St George pockets, with very few homes turning over each year. Suits established families wanting a quiet bushland-edge address with strong school catchments.
