Beverly Hills

Lifestyle & dining

Beverly Hills' town centre is a modest but functional strip along King Georges Road, home to everyday cafes, bakeries, Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants and a handful of long-running local institutions. It's an unpretentious food scene geared towards residents rather than visitors, with the bigger dining and entertainment options a short drive away in nearby Roselands and Hurstville.

The pace here is generally slower than the inner suburbs, and that's very much the appeal — it's a place for weekend errands, family dinners and quiet evenings rather than late-night bar hopping.

Shopping

Local shopping is centred on the Beverly Hills strip itself, with grocers, bakeries and specialty stores covering daily needs. For bigger retail therapy, Roselands Shopping Centre is just next door, offering a full-line supermarket, fashion outlets and food court, while Hurstville's larger commercial precinct is also within easy reach for department stores and a broader dining scene.

Getting around

Beverly Hills railway station, on the East Hills line, gives residents a direct run into the CBD as well as connections toward Campbelltown and the airport line interchange, making it a genuinely useful commuter suburb. King Georges Road and the Hume Highway corridor nearby also provide solid road links for those driving, whether heading north to the city or south toward Sutherland and beyond.

Bus routes supplement the rail line, linking Beverly Hills to Mortdale, Penshurst and Peakhurst, so residents without a car still have reasonable options for local trips.

Schools & families

Families are well catered for, with Beverly Hills Public School and Beverly Hills North Public School both serving the area, alongside Regina Coeli Catholic Primary School for those seeking a faith-based option. Beverly Hills Girls High School is a notable local secondary option, and its reputation is part of why the suburb continues to draw families willing to pay a premium to be in the area.

The median age of 40 reflects this family and established-resident skew, and the suburb's streets, parks and schools are geared toward that steady, long-term population rather than a transient renter base.

The property market

Beverly Hills' housing market is dominated by houses, which make up 59% of current listings, with apartments and units at 23% and townhouses filling out the remaining 18% — a mix that reflects the suburb's gradual shift from purely detached housing toward higher-density living. The median house price sits at $1.73 million, having grown 7.1% recently, a sign of continued strong demand for family homes in this part of the St George region.

Units offer a considerably more accessible entry point, with a median price of $780,000, while renters can expect to pay around $820 a week at the median. Together these figures point to a suburb where the detached-house market is firmly in premium territory, but where apartments and townhouses still offer a comparatively affordable way into the area.
