2779, NSW 2783, NSW

Postcode 2779 and postcode 2783 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct local characters. Postcode 2779 is more family-focused, with a higher share of children under 15 (19.6%) and larger homes, as 84.9% have three or more bedrooms. It also has more public transport options, including 28 stops compared to 10 in postcode 2783. In contrast, postcode 2783 is more walkable and urban; it has better street connectivity and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (70.8%) and health services (69.0%).
