Neighbourhood If ever there has been a Sydney suburb that has it all, it’s Double Bay. Boasting an enduring appeal that is popular with well-established families, senior professionals and expats alike, it offers a lifestyle that balances sophistication with everyday ease. Exclusive private schools are scattered throughout the suburb and its neighbouring Eastern Suburbs, catering to the young, whilst an easy 20-minute commute to the CBD makes it a compelling choice for city-based professionals. This upscale suburb offers a range of homes consisting largely of elegant heritage residences, luxury apartments and large, modern family homes. The real stars, however, are the luxury multi-level mansions sitting pretty on the edge of the harbour. Things to Do With every available luxury on your doorstep, there’s little reason to leave — and come the weekend, many locals don’t. The streets are lined with some of Sydney’s finest gyms, covering everything from sweaty reformer sessions to boutique boxing classes, wellness spaces, cafes and restaurants. A typical weekend might see locals picking up fresh blooms for the dining table from Cross Street, taking a mosey through the impeccably presented designer boutiques, before winding down at a wine bar and enjoying Double Bay’s burgeoning late-night scene. For those who fancy a weekend dip, several relaxed foreshore parks and the much-loved Murray Rose Harbour Pool beckon. With the harbour as a second playground, residents of all ages enjoy sailing and other water sports. Lifestyle The Double Bay lifestyle is an enviable one and can be reflected via the premium amenities available. From boutique shopping and fine dining to the elegant foreshore and charming, leafy streets, the good life is truly on your doorstep. For many locals, life revolves around the village-like setting of Transvaal Avenue, where everything from top-tier designer threads to charming local cafes can be found. Adding to its appeal is the easy commute via ferry, making Double Bay both a serene retreat and a well-connected hub for work and leisure. This harbourside enclave is at once prestigious and close-knit, affluent yet refined, city-adjacent yet a world away. Double Bay offers a rare balance of prestige and ease. You have harbourfront living, beautiful village streets and some of Sydney’s finest dining all within walking distance. It is sophisticated without being overwhelming, and it retains a genuine sense of community. That combination is incredibly special. – Alain Waitsman, Director of Belle Property | Double Bay AREA GUIDE Darling Double Bay 10 Leafy streets, a picturesque harbour foreshore, high-end boutiques and an enviable cafe culture make Double Bay one of Sydney’s most sought-after suburbs.
