Como suburb profile

Como is a riverside suburb in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire on the southern bank of the Georges River, known for its relaxed waterside character and village feel. Tree-lined streets feature weatherboard cottages, federation-era homes and pockets of contemporary waterfront housing, giving the area a mix of historic charm and modern riverfront living. Local life centres on a compact shopping strip by the station, riverside parks and walking tracks that encourage boating, picnics and weekend leisure. Como is served by a local train station on the Illawarra line and good road connections, attracting families and professionals who want leafy streets with ready access to both the city and the river.
