In the mid-twentieth century, Marrickville was a major center of Sydney's large Greek community, and to an extent remains so. Greek flags are frequently flown down Marrickville's main commercial street, which still has many Greek-owned businesses. Today, the Vietnamese community has become perhaps more prominent, centered in the area closer to the railway station.

In recent years the area has seen an influx of young, urban professionals attracted to its proximity to the Sydney CBD, vast array of restaurants and inner-city, multicultural lifestyle. Soaring prices in more affluent areas such as the Eastern Suburbs have also driven people into the inner-west in search of more affordable housing.^{[citation needed]} A view of the Sydney CBD from the Harbour Bridge, the Circular Quay is in the foreground Map of the CBD The Sydney central business district (CBD) extends southwards for about 2 km from Sydney Cove, the point of first European settlement. ...

Houses

Many Marrickville homes are detached or terraced Victorian houses built in the late 1800s. Others were built in the Federation style in the early 1900s. The 1960s and 1970s saw the demolition of some of the larger homes and low-rise red-brick flats put up in their place.
