About Illawong

Illawong's name comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "between two waters" — a perfect description for a suburb nestled between the Georges River to the north and the Woronora River to the south, approximately 21 kilometres from the Sydney CBD within the Sutherland Shire.

With a population of around 7,400 residents across 2,256 dwellings, and 92% of homes owner-occupied, Illawong is a suburb where people choose to stay. Fourteen parks cover nearly 13% of its 5.9 square kilometres, and the recently upgraded Foreshore Reserve at Old Ferry Road — complete with a light watercraft launching facility — makes kayaking the Georges River a genuine weekend option.

The surrounding bushland and waterways define the Illawong lifestyle. Bush walks and riding trails of varying difficulty wind through the suburb, and the natural setting attracts residents who value the outdoors as part of daily life. It's suburban living with nature as a genuine neighbour — and that combination consistently drives strong buyer demand.
