At the higher end of the cost spectrum, a home in Woollahra attracts people who want to put down roots. It doesn’t share the transient, younger population of some of the neighbouring suburbs, instead the mood on the street is refined, polite and well-mannered.
A slow saunter down Queen Street can easily fill up a day. There are patisseries, bars, antique stores, restaurants, florists and many boutique clothing stores vying for attention from well-heeled shoppers. Feeling sporty? Pop across the road at the top of Oxford Street for the lush fields of Centennial Park.
Sunday afternoon pub sessions are a real delight, with plenty of old-fashioned English-style pubs serving up roasts and ales. Woollahra Public School offers primary school aged children a historic building to learn and play in.
Woollahra’s streets are famous for their heritage-listed mansions; it’s not unusual to find yourself wandering down tree-lined boulevards filled with three-storey Victorian style terraces from end to end.
But it’s not all ultra-grand – you’ll also find smaller unit blocks, apartment conversions and ornate Art Deco complexes for young professionals who are attracted to the proximity to the city and the easy lifestyle on offer.
The residents of Woollahra are treated to the finer things in life. But it also exudes a casually elegant and friendly mood, thanks to a population that appreciate their beautiful surrounds and who have, more often than not, lived in the area for decades. Just 4kms from the city, with plenty of connectivity along Oxford Street, it’s not hard to see why you would never want to leave.
