It is 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Canada Bay.

Some historians believe the Sydney suburb was named Concord to encourage a peaceful attitude between soldiers and settlers.

It includes several cafes, restaurants, Coles Local, post office, medical centre and other commercial enterprises.

From here, the tram line proceeded through Enfield to a depot in resent-day Croydon Park, in Tangarra Street, then east to Ashfield station.

Bus services between Mortlake/Breakfast Point and Cabarita to Burwood (and eventually to Ashfield via Enfield, i.e. routes 464 and 466) follow the old tram lines through the suburb, which were removed in 1948.
