Canley Heights suburb profile

Canley Heights is a primarily residential suburb in Sydney's south-west, part of the City of Fairfield, with a laid-back, family-oriented character. Streets are dominated by lowset brick and weatherboard homes with pockets of newer townhouses, and the local scene reflects a strong multicultural presence, especially Vietnamese and other Asian communities, seen in nearby eateries and shops. Residents rely on local parks and small retail strips for everyday needs while the broader retail and dining choices of Cabramatta are close at hand. Public transport access comes via the nearby Canley Vale and Cabramatta train stations and the area is well connected to major roads.
