Marsfield is a suburb in the Northern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. The leafy residential suburb is noted for its proximity to a number of leading scientific and tertiary educational institutions. Marsfield is located 16 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the City of Ryde. Due to its close proximity to Macquarie University, the Macquarie Park Business Park, Macquarie University Hospital, Macquarie University railway station and Macquarie Shopping Centre, it is a growing suburb. This green suburb features large, modern homes on the higher parts with views, and townhouses/units in the parts of the suburb that border South Turramurra and Epping. Marsfield, especially the areas close to Macquarie University, is fantastic, with a great social mix - lots of students, mainly Asian. Marsfield is very cosmopolitan, with lots of young families too. The proximity to the ever growing Macquarie Park business area, the new Macquarie Uni Hospital, the new train station, the upgraded and expanded shopping centre from 2014, the new stylish apartment buildings are all indicators that this area is in for long term growth.
