Canterbury-Bankstown
Roselands
A quiet residential suburb in central Canterbury-Bankstown, anchored by Roselands Shopping Centre (one of the older suburban malls in Sydney) and surrounding Federation and post-war homes. No train station, so the suburb stays low-density and family-oriented. Suits families wanting bigger blocks and supermarket-scale shopping inside the suburb.
