East Village

East Village sits on Defries Avenue at Zetland, in the rapidly growing Green Square area of Sydney's inner south near Alexandria. A modern shopping centre, it's a convenient retail-and-lifestyle hub for the area — bringing together a supermarket, specialty shops, dining, a gym and services in one well-appointed, accessible centre serving the growing local community.

The appeal is that combination of a good range of shops, dining and services and a convenient inner-south location, ideal for the weekly shop, running errands, grabbing a bite or a coffee, or picking up the essentials. As a well-rounded centre in a fast-growing area, it's become a genuine community hub for the surrounds.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 3,600 reviews, it's clearly a well-used part of the area. The retailers, services, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details if you're after something specific — though for a shop, some errands or a casual bite, you can simply head in as part of a day around Zetland and Green Square.
