Matraville is an older more established community orientated suburb. With a complete overhaul of the central shopping strip, Matraville is drawing new interest and providing affordable quality properties. The suburb that lights up at Christmas time and draws a big crowd for family carols is extremely popular amongst families. Although new developments due to be built on Bunnerong Rd have sold in record time and are the beginning of a well rounded suburb that caters to both a growing family and those looking for smaller peaceful apartment living.
