Waverley is located 5.5 kilometres south-east of the CBD in Sydney’s eastern suburbs in the local government area of Waverley. Bondi Junction station provides fast commutes via train to the CBD and is a 15 to 20 minute walk or a short bus ride along Bronte Rd.
Property types
The suburb contains a wide range of properties from Federation homes and Victorian terraces (many beautifully renovated) to modern architect designed homes. Apartments make up roughly half of the dwellings in Waverley and comprise a mixture of art deco units, 60’s and 70’s solid brick buildings and modern complexes.
Shops and Restaurants
The shopping strip along Bronte Rd near the intersection of Carrington Road is known as Charing Cross and contains a wide selection of shops and restaurants including the popular Charing Cross Pizza Bar and Restaurant.
