Burwood sits in Sydney's inner west, halfway between the CBD and Parramatta, with Westfield Burwood, Burwood Chinatown and a fast train line to the city at its centre. Houst manages short lets across the suburb, from apartments in the towers near the station to Federation houses on the quieter streets toward Burwood Park, and handles pricing, guests and cleaning so you earn without the day-to-day work.

List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Stayz and more. Listing on several platforms reaches families visiting relatives, parents of international students, business travellers heading into the CBD or Parramatta and guests on longer stays.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short let in Burwood at an average of A$321 a night with 73% occupancy. That works out at around A$85,500 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on Burwood Road, Railway Parade, Shaftesbury Road and Conder Street, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from A$316 on Shaftesbury Road to A$323 on Burwood Road.
Demand is steadier than in the beach suburbs, with smaller summer peaks and more longer stays. Lunar New Year, the school holidays and the end of the university year are the busiest periods. Figures will vary with size, finish and exact location.
