Woollahra: Live, Love, Sell

It has a double ‘O’ and a double ‘L’ in its name, but this leafy suburb also has the double WOW factor!

Only 5km east of the Sydney CBD, Woollahra is flanked by Bellevue Hill to the north, Bondi Beach to the east, Centennial Park to the south and Paddington and Edgecliff to the west. With a population of just over 7,700, it’s a fashionable suburb for young professionals as well as families.

Once you learn how to spell Woollahra (an Aboriginal word that means ‘camp’ or ‘meeting ground’) you will soon discover just how much this highly desirable suburb has to offer!

Live

The local know how special their suburb is, but for the rest of Sydney, it’s a hidden treasure. One standout feature is the architecture. As well as the high number of heritage listed homes, you will discover a mixture of picturesque Federation and Victorian style homes. This heritage character of the area has been maintained due to the limit of high-rise development. The tree-lined streets are a defining aspect of Woollahra, and year-round the natural beauty is on show for all to see. If you’re an avid fan of mid-1800s architecture, spend an afternoon walking though the suburb. You’re sure to discover some gems.

Woollahra is also home to a number of consulates including Turkish, Serbian, Swiss and Lebanese. It’s worth walking past these impressive residences.

Love

When visiting Woollahra, many people comment on the lovely village style atmosphere. There are trendy cafes and top-notch restaurants, galleries, glamorous boutiques and antique shops to meander through. But, if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find pristine bushwalks in both Trumper & Cooper Parks and of course Centennial Park on the doorstep.

Woollahra also has one public primary school, which opened in 1877, and a few beautiful churches, including the heritage listed All Saints in Ocean Street that was designed by Edmund Blacket and completed in 1881.

Public transport is easy to access, but the beauty of Woollahra is its accessibility to neighbouring suburbs and nearly all conveniences by foot.

Sell

Due to its charming qualities, proximity to the CBD and its history, properties do not stay long on the market in Woollahra!
