Croydon features many of the inner west's most sought-after addresses due to its grand homes, larger blocks and family friendly streetscapes.
As of 2011, the majority of dwellings were separate houses (63.6%).
Croydon is a quiet village-like suburb with mostly detached housing built in the early part of the 20th century in what is known as Federation Bungalow or California Bungalow styles.
The suburb caters for first-home buyers, while the wealthy may also find homes in the Malvern Hill Estate, a well-established pocket of prestigious homes that rarely come on the market and sell for more than $900,000.
As of January 2016, the median house price of Croydon stood at $1,435,000.

The Malvern Hill area of Croydon was designed as a model suburb in 1906 by surveyors Atchison and Schleiser.
Like the nearby Appian Way area in Burwood and the 'garden suburb' Haberfield, the aim of the development was to have modern houses on large blocks of land with wide streets.
Most of the houses are California Bungalows or similar Federation-era designs.
Just east of Malvern Hill, in the Ashfield Council part of the suburb, is the grand Gads Hill Villa built by former Ashfield mayor Daniel Holborow and the nearby St James Anglican Church.
