SYDNEY’S PRESTIGE PROPERTY MARKET

So where are the top-end property markets in Sydney and what is the attraction?

Eastern suburbs: Sydney’s East contains a wonderful selection of luxury properties with direct harbour frontage and beachfront access.  Point Piper’s Wolseley Road contains the most expensive real estate in Australia – including one  home that’s worth over $100m.

If your are considering the best of the East – think Darling Point, Woollahra, Vaucluse, Double Bay, Elizabeth Bay and Potts Point.  The highest quality schools, exquisite restaurants, bars, parks and retail strips make the East a highly desirable location.

Lower North Shore: Just over the bridge is a special enclave of Sydney’s elite suburbs surrounded by waterways.  This area is also home to the Prime Minister’s House at Kirribilli Lodge.   The best suburbs in this region are Mosman, Balmoral, Cremorne, Northbridge, Hunters Hill, Riverview, Lavender Bay, Kirribilli and McMahons Point.  An enviable mix of renovated federation and modern homes pepper the slopes of the lower north shore.  

Northern Beaches: Less than 20 minutes by ferry from the Sydney CBD is arguably the most desirable suburb in Australia – Manly and nearby Clontarf. Where else will you find immediate access to both the harbour and surfing beaches along with a vast array of restaurants and cafes, all in a relaxed environment? A little further north you will discover beautiful Pittwater with spectacular waterfront homes in Bayview, Church Point and all the way up to the world-renowned suburbs of Palm Beach and Whale Beach, where holiday homes to the rich and famous are abundant.

Inner West: Heading just west of the city over the Anzac Bridge is a wonderfully vibrant and eclectic mix suburbs in the Inner West. The more expensive pockets include Pyrmont, Balmain, Birchgrove, Haberfield and Annandale.
