The Inner City includes the CBD (including The Rocks, Barangaroo, Millers Point and Dawes Point) and inner city suburbs within the City of Sydney local government area (LGA). Sydney’s CBD is becoming a highly desirable place to call home due to new residential developments and more shops and cafés open on the weekend to service residents. There are also a multitude of existing shops, parks such as the expansive Hyde Park and entertainment venues in the CBD such including the Sydney Opera House and City Recital Hall in Angel Place.
The Barangaroo redevelopment is expected to cost in the realm of $6 billion and be completed by 2023. It will include several new apartment and
Sydney’s inner CBD suburbs such as Pyrmont, Potts Point and Darlinghurst remain sought-after areas to live due to their walkability and proximity to the CBD, which is reflected in the property prices.
Homes in Inner City are spoilt for transport options. There are seven inner city train stations, including central and there are soon to be three more once Sydney Metro construction is completed. Ferries service Darling Harbour and Circular Quay and busses travel from the CBD to the inner and middle ring suburbs. Light rail will run from Circular Quay to Central Station via George Street by December 2017 and connect to Kingsford, Randwick and Dulwich Hill from there.
As mentioned above, there are a huge array shops, restaurants and cafés in the CBD and Inner City, which will continue to grow in number as more residents buy property and move into the area.
Pitt Street Mall is the largest shopping area in the CBD and runs between Market Street and King Street. It is home to many flagship chain stores including Myer and more than 400 specialty stores. It comprises four shopping centres and arcades including the 19th century Strand Arcade and Westfield Sydney which was redeveloped in 2014 to expand the centre by 130 stores and become Australia’s third largest shopping centre by lettable area. The shopping centre now fronts three streets including Market Street, Castlereagh Street – arguably Australia’s most exclusive luxury shopping street and Pitt Street – one of the world’s most expensive shopping streets by rent.
Other shopping centres include Queen Victoria Building, World Square, the MLC Centre, Market City and Broadway Shopping Centre.
Countless restaurants are located in the CBD and inner city and range from fine dining restaurants with some of the best chefs in the world to value-focused Asian cuisines in Chinatown. For those who live in the city many of these are just a short walk from home.
A number of Sydney’s highest ranking schools are housed in the inner city or are easily accessible from there. Sydney Girls and Boys High Schools in Moore Park consistently rank highly based on academic results. Macquarie Grammar School, Sydney Grammar School, SCEGGS Darlinghurst and St Vincent’s are not far behind.
The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is conveniently located in Ultimo near Central Station. The University of Sydney in Camperdown is easily accessible from Redfern Station and Sydney’s oldest and most highly regarded university.
