I've been living in Paddington in Sydney for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it! It has a village-feel to it despite being a 30minute walk to the CBD, and it really feels like a community. There are adorable terrace-lined streets, luxury boutique shops everywhere, and family-run grocers and restaurants. Every year the street I live on, William Street, hosts the William Street Festival. It's a street festival that brings together the community with food stalls, live music, and the local shops and businesses have stalls and decorate their buildings.
