East Bowral is commonly regarded as an area corresponding with a development estate from Old South and Boardman roads in the north-west to Bong Bong Picnic Race Club in the south-east. However the suburb boundaries lie south of King Ranch and Highland drives. Hence, the gazetted suburb itself is south of the East Bowral Community Centre and the locally reputable Scottish Arms tavern.

At the 2011 census the residential population of East Bowral was reported as 1581. The 2006 population was reported as 2457 but this was for an area with very different boundaries.
