Norwood is stylish, secure and serene. Located within walking distance of the CBD, the suburb consists of leafy streets, a mix of contemporary and character homes, great shopping and a huge selection of intimate cafés pouring some of the best coffee in town.

For busy professionals, Norwood’s city-fringe location makes for an easy commute. Many Norwoodians choose to forgo the car and walk to and from the office instead, getting home with enough time to go for a run, do the shopping and meet friends for pre-dinner drinks.
Norwood is also a magnet for families and working parents – prestigious schools and child-minding facilities are available in and around the area. Ice cream shops keep the little ones happy, teenagers flock to the cinema and the bowling alley, and the back streets provide open spaces and playgrounds where younger kids can roam free.
