Edgecliff: An insiders perspective

Nestled in between Woollahra, Darling Point and Bondi Junction, the diminutive suburb of Edgecliff is made up of only 15 streets, conveniently located just 3km from the CBD.

It’s largely known for its business and retail hub, the Edgecliff Centre, where a collection of supermarkets, specialty stores and office suites set above the train and bus depot makes this epicentre a hive of activity.
Edgecliff borders the green acreage of Trumper Park and with the exception of its two main thoroughfares – Edgecliff Road and Ocean Street – its residential streets are an oasis of tranquility.

This leafy suburb features many stately Victorian terraces and charming, refurbished workers’ cottages, in addition to a range of large, older-style apartments (many beautifully preserved from the ‘20s and ‘30s), contemporary resort-style developments and luxurious townhouses.

Nothing seems far from your front door if you live in Edgecliff, with cosmopolitan Double Bay shopping and charming Woollahra café society within a short walk.

Anything that stands out to you when you think of Edgecliff: 

Convenience is the biggest factor for living in Edgecliff – it is so handy to be within walking distance to the train station to get to the city or Bondi, and Edgecliff Centre makes it easy to get everything I need done quickly.

Being so close to everything! We are able to walk to Double Bay, Rushcutters Bay, Woollahra and Oxford Street or take a quick trip to the city!

Your favourite shops:

Nic & Co is the best butcher to get steaks…and of course we love the bakery in Edgecliff Centre which has lots of yummy treats for afternoon tea!

Generally we go to Rushcutters Bay Park, but love that we can walk the kids over to Trumper Park for tennis lessons (Wentworth Tennis)
