Randwick – Live, Love, Sell
Approximately 6km from the CBD, Randwick is bordered by the lush expanses of Queens and Centennial parks to the north, the suburbs of Coogee and Clovelly to the east, Kingsford to the south and Kensington to the west. Its name is synonymous with racing.
Live
Dating back to 1830, the Randwick Race Course sees Sydney’s colourful racing identities rub shoulders with high society and the average punter. Other notable Randwick landmarks include the Prince of Wales Hospital, a campus of the University of New South Wales, and Randwick Boys and Girls High Schools.
Randwick is also a great suburb for families and is filled with lots of fantastic hidden parks. Head over to Alison Park or Frank Doyle Park for some great playgrounds and places for your kids to run around! The Randwick Library is another great spot for kids, with school holiday programs and story time. Looking for more activities for the kids? “Laugh and Learn” Toy Shop focuses on toys that teach – they also hold music lessons for all ages.
If you are looking for a hidden gem, Isabella’s Italian & Seafood Restaurant is a great low key spot offering a fantastic set of regular food fare options at an incredible price point.
Love
Randwick has a substantial retail centre extending along Belmore Road, home to the Royal Randwick Shopping Centre and a variety of inexpensive clothing stores, eateries and supermarkets.
The quaint area commonly known as ‘The Spot’ is a charming cluster of unique specialty stores, restaurants and the historic cinema known as the Randwick Ritz, a local institution where every night is ‘cheap night’. They are also licensed, so its a great ‘date night’!
Sell
As Sydney’s first suburban municipality, proclaimed in 1859, Randwick retains plenty of historically significant and heritage-listed buildings which are carefully preserved.
However major redevelopment occurred in the 1960s and ‘70s with the construction of numerous residential walk-up flats, many of which now provide affordable housing for local university students. Currently under construction, the CBD and South East Light Rail, due to be operational in 2019 from the city through the Moore Park precinct and on to Randwick, may be a pointer to future increases in value to property.

SELLING homes is not just a career; it is an art form – one that is carefully honed over years of life experience and knowledge. And, I can proudly say, that I still absolutely love what I do – day in, day out.
