CBD & Inner City Property Buyers Agents

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 mixed use buildings as well as a hotel and casino. An increasing number of commercial premises in the South CBD area are being converted into apartments to capitalise on the high level of demand to live close to work.

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.
