Kings of convenience, the inner-east suburbs of Kensington and Kingsford offer the best of both worlds with close proximity to the city and beaches along with excellent transport links anchored by the light rail. Vibrant and well connected, the neighbouring suburbs are within easy reach of UNSW and Randwick’s hospital precinct attracting a broad range of buyers from young professionals and families to investors looking to capitalise on high rental demand.

Our local specialist Tristan Oddi says, “Kensington and Kingsford are still on the upswing as they make great alternatives to neighbouring suburbs like Randwick and Rosebery with the advantage of being a quick twelve-minute commute into the CBD. Close proximity to Centennial Park and short drive to Coogee and Clovelly Beaches make them ideal for lovers of the great outdoors while a vibrant dining scene is another big drawcard with Anzac Parade’s multi-cultural culinary scene offering everything sushi bars and noodle parlours. We have a choice of great homes on the market at the moment that are ideal for families looking to put down roots.”

Right on the cusp of Randwick, 24 Paton Street, Kingsford is a beautifully renovated Californian bungalow on over 600sqm of land. The four-bedroom home is designed for easy living with a tasteful fusion of classic and contemporary design featuring an entertainer’s kitchen and master suite but it’s the lush backyard and sunny lawn that steals the show. There’s everything you could wish for with a gorgeous deck surrounded by tropical palms, a travertine courtyard with firepit as well as a built-in barbecue and pizza oven making entertaining a dream.

New to the market and in the catchment for Rainbow Street Public School, 412 Avoca Street, Kingsford is a statement in streamlined luxury with a two-storey layout and landscaped garden with a sparking saltwater pool as centrepiece to family life. Freestanding to the north and featuring parking for four cars, the state-of-the-art home offers every creature comfort including a home gym, a home cinema and a parents’ retreat reminiscent of a high-end hotel.

Just 350m to the light rail in one direction and OLSH College in the other, 119 Todman Avenue, Kensington is a gorgeous Edwardian semi that’s ideal for those upgrading from an apartment or downsizers looking for a low-maintenance home between the city and beaches. It’s in the catchment for Kensington Public School and close to East Village and Royal Randwick Racecourse making it a superb lifestyle choice.

Finally, the family sized apartment at 38/44 Gardeners Road, Kingsford is perched high for privacy with panoramic views out to Botany Bay as a spectacular backdrop. With over 120sqm on title, the  newly renovated three-bedroom apartment is on the sub-penthouse level of a tightly held building just 600m to Kensington Park with easy access to UNSW, NIDA and Randwick’s medical precinct.
