Haberfield, New South Wales

About

Haberfield is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located 6.5 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the Inner West Council.

The suburb sits south of Iron Cove, which is part of Sydney Harbour. It is bounded to the east by the Hawthorne Canal, to the northwest by the Iron Cove Creek canal and to the southwest by Parramatta Road. Its high street is Ramsay Street. The point of land that faces Iron Cove, Dobroyd Point, is a historical locality of Sydney. Haberfield is dubbed "the garden suburb" and retains its well-kept parks, tree-lined streets and fine Federation-era houses with immaculate gardens. The entire suburb is heritage-listed. It predates the creation of garden suburbs in Britain, such as present-day Letchworth and Hampstead. The suburb has also been known for its Italian diaspora.
