Double Bay is a harbourside suburb in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs known for its waterfront access, local retail and dining, and compact village layout.
The suburb provides strong walkability and proximity to the CBD, with most amenities located within a defined village centre.
Property Landscape
Property in Double Bay is largely made up of boutique apartment buildings, renovated Art Deco blocks and contemporary residences.
These apartments often appeal due to their proximity to the harbour and access to surrounding amenities, particularly where layout, natural light and parking are well considered.
Freestanding houses and waterfront properties are limited in number and tightly held, contributing to constrained supply within the suburb.
