BUSES
Frequent buses travelling to and from all areas of city
FERRIES
Ferries to the city and Manly available from Watsons Bay and Rose Bay.
TRAINS
Bondi Junction train station is a great option to quickly travel throughout broader Sydney.
The Eastern Suburbs train line runs from the city to Bondi Junction, with bus connections from there to surrounding areas including Bondi Beach. Ferries also service suburbs fronting Sydney Harbour with stops at Potts Point, Darling Point, Double Bay, Rose Bay and Watsons Bay. Buses service the remainder of the Eastern Suburbs and have frequent and rapid services to the CBD via dedicated bus lanes on main transport spines such as Anzac Parade. Light rail will also connect Kingsford and Randwick to Circular Quay and Central Station via Surry Hills by the end of 2017. These add an additional layer of convenience to properties in the eastern suburbs.
Many people prefer to drive from home to the city though, which is made easier due to the cross-city tunnel and the M1 freeway which links to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and tunnel.
The Eastern Suburbs is known for its shopping, and visitors come from around the world to buy and shop here. As mentioned above, Double Bay is the go to place for boutiques and high end goods, while Everleigh and Paddington markets are more suited to handmade goods and knickknacks. Westfield Bondi Junction is the third largest shopping centre in Australia by number of stores (499). These are just a stone’s throw away for home owners in the area.
Many of Sydney’s most prestigious schools are located in the Eastern Suburbs including SCEGGS, Sydney Grammar School, Sydney Boys, Sydney Girls, Kambala, Ascham, Moriah College, Kincoppal, Reddam House, Cranbrook and The Scots College.
The University of New South Wales is located in Kensington and was recently ranked in the top 5 Australian universities by the Australian Research Council. The University of Sydney is also within easy reach via bus.
These well regarded schools and universities ensure that the area is always demand by families and students, which is good news for both capital and property rental prices.
Eastern Suburbs
Other notable parks include the Botanic Gardens and Centennial Parklands, the latter of which offers many recreational activities including walking, running, cycling, skating, picnics and barbeques, playing in the playgrounds, field, track and court sports, golf and horse riding. The Parklands also houses major sports grounds and entertainment centres such as Allianz Stadium, Sydney Cricket Ground and Moore Park Showground. The Entertainment Quarter includes more event spaces including Hordern Pavilion and has additional entertainment options such as Hoyts movie theatre, ten pin bowling and an ice skating rink in winter. In summer, Centennial Park is home to an outdoor cinema. Bondi and Mrs Macquarie’s Point also have seasonal outdoor cinemas.
Major public swimming pools include Prince Alfred Park Public Pool in Surry Hills, Andrew ‘Boy’ Charlton Pool, which has a stunning waterfront location looking over Woolloomooloo Bay and Cook and Phillip Park Aquatic and Fitness Centre on the edge of the CBD near Hyde Park, which houses multiple pools as well as a fitness centre and a sports court.

Munro Donen is Director and Principal of Propertybuyer East in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. Munro has a wealth of experience having worked in real estate in South Africa, UK and the last 21 years in Australia. He's an excellent negotiator with vast knowledge of the local Eastern suburbs property market. His attention to detail and can-do attitude are just some of the traits his clients value most.
Speak to Munro"Munro did a fantastic job and delivered above our expectations. When we began chatting to Munro about potentially working together, one of our key questions was, “how long is all of this going to take”. During this buying period, there was limited stock on the market, and house prices were rising by the day – it was important that Munro could find the property and make the purchase happen quickly. He was frank with us and explained that our brief would be very challenging but was doable. Further, Munro felt reasonably confident that he could meet our brief in three weeks. It only took him two and a half. Munro knows what he is doing. He is very connected within the Eastern Suburbs property market and knows how to cut to the chase. He can refine a brief within days, and it was not long before all of the properties he showed us met or exceeded our expectations. He managed to get everything we wanted, in the location we wanted, for a price below our budget. He is also an excellent communicator and kept us, as well as our mortgage broker and conveyancer, informed of what was going on at all times. Somehow he even made navigating real estate fun. I would happily recommend him Thank you very much, Munro, for everything that you have done for us."

You will save yourself money, time and stress when you engage a professional buyers’ agent to help you with your next investment property purchase. You will be empowered with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision about the value of a property without all of the sales “hype” often associated with property purchases – we protect you from making an emotional decision. You will have the benefit of our extensive research and analysis into past sales and comparable market data and will be protected from paying too much. You may also gain access to properties not yet advertised, otherwise known as “silent listings”.

Is A Buyers’ Agent worth the money?

The advantage of the fixed fee structure is that you only pay the same fee regardless of the price of the property. There are three key areas you will get great value for money by engaging P
A buyers’ agent can save you a packet of money if they are experienced, knowledgeable and have your best interests at heart. They can take the emotion out of the negotiation and auction process and give you accurate advice on property values. They should have an extensive database of agent contacts to help you find off-market properties.
How Do I find A Buyers’ Agent?
Apart from searching online, ask a local selling agent if they have seen a good buyers agent in action. You can also ask family, friends and work colleagues about their experience with using buyers agents.
An important question to ask a buyers agent is whether they are truly “exclusive” or “independent”. If they accept sales commission from vendors or developers then they cannot be classified as “independent” as they are acting in the interests of the seller. Only deal with a licensed buyers agent (you can check license via the Office of Fair Trading in each state) and one that is a recognised member of your state Real Estate Institute and the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia.
There are seven factors to consider when selecting a good buyers agent.
Is it affordable to use a buyers’ agent?
Are buyers’ agents fees tax deductible?
Do you offer any guarantees with your service?
