GeeVee rates Marrickville 7.8/10. The suburb is in the middle of a decade-long gentrification cycle that has already transformed the precinct from industrial outer-inner-west to one of Sydney’s most sought-after lifestyle suburbs. Prices have risen 68% in 10 years. The question is whether there is still runway — GeeVee says yes, based on relative affordability versus Newtown and the Metro Bankstown corridor completing in 2025.
