A vibrant hub on the southern end of the city, Haymarket is fun to visit, but even better to live in. It’s famous for its bustling markets, delectable dining scene, and the Capitol Theatre. It’s Sydney’s Chinatown. Locals follow their noses to legendary Asian eateries, and soak up the culture and convenience.

Convenience aside, residents are surrounded by community markets, art galleries, and the historic Capitol Theatre. Haymarket is also home to Chinatown – a vibrant cultural centre that’s lined with eateries, shops and supermarkets, and hosts events and festivals year-round.

The weekly markets attract Sydneysiders from all over, and the dining scene is vibrant and varied, boasting some of Sydney’s best Asian restaurants, such as Marigold, Chat Thai and East Ocean.

While many locals can walk to work or university, Haymarket is a public transport hub. Buses, and the light rail run through the suburb, and Central Station is at the south end.

Neighbours

The population of Haymarket is overwhelmingly young, independent and multicultural. The University of Technology is a stone’s throw away, and the University of Sydney is also close by, so the area appeals to students. While Haymarket is home to a mix of transient people and those laying down roots, the community vibe is strong, and apparent at events like the weekly night market.
