The suburb offers a village-style lifestyle with an abundance of cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops - staples of Inner West living that buyers are increasingly unwilling to compromise on.


At the last census, there were only around 300 apartments in the suburb. Fewer than a handful of new apartment developments have been delivered in recent years, but none are as well positioned as The Carlyle Connection, just a three-minute walk to Henley Park and the Enfield Aquatic Centre.


Delivered by Enliven and JPA Constructions, The Carlyle Connection will comprise an exclusive collection of 1 and 2 bedroom residences - a boutique scale rarely seen in the new development market across Sydney. Spacious open layouts, premium finishes and private balconies or terraces feature throughout, while residents will also enjoy access to a rooftop garden, communal BBQ area, landscaped surrounds and secure parking with storage. Commercial spaces at ground level add a further layer of convenience for day-to-day living.


Off The Plan is fielding enquiry from several buyer types ahead of the launch.


"First home buyers are realising this is the best time to get into the market," says Tim Whall, Founder of Off The Plan.


"There are now several government incentives assisting first home buyers to get onto the property ladder. The recent announcement to waive lender's mortgage insurance for those with low deposits puts tens of thousands back in their pockets. Pair that with stamp duty savings in the new apartment space, and there has never been a better time to be a first home buyer in the off the plan apartment market."


Off The Plan has also seen a re-emergence of investors, attracted to the low supply of apartments in Enfield and the suburb's lifestyle credentials, while also being on the fringe of Burwood — a suburb set to undergo significant transformation with its recent rezoning around the new metro station.


"That will bring a wealth of new retail and amenity to the area, which tends to drive prices higher," said Tim.


"Rents are at record highs, and with interest rates coming down from the highs of recent years, investment apartments are starting to stack up again financially."
For those needing to venture further afield, Burwood and Strathfield - with their extensive shopping, dining and transport options - are just a 10-minute drive away, while local cafés, schools and parks keep daily life firmly within reach.


The Carlyle Connection's proximity to Henley Park remains one of its biggest drawcards. The 13-hectare park includes multiple sports fields, two fenced playgrounds and the Enfield Aquatic Centre, complete with Olympic-sized swimming pool.


The Carlyle Connection is on track to welcome residents in Q2 2026.
