Locals enjoy close proximity to excellent restaurants, with several types of cuisines to choose from.

Beecroft is less than 25 minutes by car from the Sydney CBD along the M2 motorway and is on the northern line of the CityRail network. The suburb is also serviced by bus routes including routes 623 and 635 from Sydney Buses and Hillsbus respectively.
