Once considered just a suburb, Parramatta has transformed into Sydney’s thriving second CBD. With massive investment in infrastructure, culture, and business, it has become one of Australia's most dynamic and exciting places to live, work, and invest.

A Hub of Connectivity Parramatta is one of the best-connected centres in Sydney. With a major train station, a bus interchange, the RiverCat ferry, and the upcoming Parramatta Light Rail and Sydney Metro West, getting around is a breeze. This incredible connectivity makes it a prime location for both residents and businesses.
Unbeatable Lifestyle and Culture From the diverse and delicious restaurants on "Eat Street" to the beautiful green spaces of Parramatta Park, there's always something to do. The world-class CommBank Stadium hosts major sporting and entertainment events, while the Riverside Theatres is a hub for the arts.
An Economic Powerhouse Major corporations and government departments have moved into Parramatta, creating a booming local economy with thousands of jobs. The ongoing development of Parramatta Square has created a stunning commercial and retail precinct, cementing its status as a major business hub.
A Great Place for Families Beyond the bustling city centre, Parramatta and its surrounding suburbs offer fantastic amenities for families, including excellent schools (like The King's School and Tara Anglican School for Girls), parks, and community facilities.
Whether you're looking for a vibrant urban lifestyle or a solid investment with huge growth potential, Parramatta delivers on all fronts.
