Pagewood suburb profile
Pagewood is an inner south-eastern suburb on the edge of Botany Bay, sitting beside suburbs such as Eastgardens and Maroubra. It is largely residential, with tree-lined streets of mid-century cottages and postwar bungalows alongside patches of newer townhouses and low-rise apartments, giving it a quietly suburban feel. Local life centres on small neighbourhood shops, parks and sports fields, while a major shopping centre at nearby Eastgardens and the surf at Maroubra are within easy reach. Many residents work in the nearby light industrial precincts or at the airport and the area is served by regular bus links and main roads.
