Step away from the main drag and find a different Enmore. As much an outdoor art space as it is a quiet urban neighbourhood, Enmore is filled with street art and graffiti – large-scale murals, political slogans, figurative and abstract designs, and the odd bit of tagging adorn the walls and back alleys.
With Newtown, Marrickville and Stanmore as its neighbours, locals have access to all the conveniences of inner-city living, parklands and highly sought-after schools. Combine this with the neighbourhood’s playful edge and funky vibe, and you have one intriguing suburb.
