Lilyfield is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney,
in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
Lilyfield is located 6 kilometres west of the
Sydney central business district, in the local
government area of the Municipality of
Leichhardt.
Lilyfield is nestled in between the suburbs of
Annandale, Rozelle and Leichhardt and is
bounded to the west by Iron Cove. Originally a
working-class area, today Lilyfield like many
inner-city suburbs is becoming increasingly
gentrified. Property investors, eager to
capitalise on the suburb's proximity to the
Sydney CBD, have purchased many of the
original workers' cottages to renovate or
develop. Although predominantly middle class,
the suburb still retains some of its working-
class roots and like its neighbouring suburbs, is
home to people from diverse cultural and
ethnic backgrounds.
