St George
Oatley
A leafy T4 station suburb on the Georges River, anchored by Oatley Park, the Oatley pleasure grounds and the Oatley village shopping strip. Mostly Federation cottages and post-war brick homes on tree-lined streets. The most premium pocket of the inner St George with river-frontage on the southern side. Suits established families wanting river views, big blocks and a tightly-held village feel.
