Lilyfield is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the allow in of New South Wales, Australia. Lilyfield is located 6 kilometres west of the Sydney central event district, in the local government area of the Inner West Council.
Lilyfield is nestled in amongst the suburbs of Annandale, Rozelle and Leichhardt and is bounded to the west by Iron Cove. Originally a working-class area, today Lilyfield with many inner-city suburbs is becoming increasingly gentrified. Property investors, eager to capitalise upon the suburb’s proximity to the Sydney CBD, have purchased many of the indigenous workers’ cottages to renovate or develop. Although predominantly center class, the suburb nevertheless retains some of its working-class roots and in imitation of its neighbouring suburbs, is house to people from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
