Randwick: Diverse, Progressive And Connected
A flourishing university town and medical hub, Randwick is probably best known as the home of horseracing in Sydney and has been a thriving urban centre since the early 1900s. From heritage listed mansions and Art Deco gems to Federation semis and the swish new apartments at Newmarket, Randwick is a neighbourhood that it not only diverse but highly connected. Now with the light rail in operation affording a direct link to the city, Randwick holds more appeal than ever. We’ve got a superb choice of property available from family homes to affordable apartments and everything in between.
Daniel Cachia says, “The evolving precinct of The Spot with its restaurant and cafe culture has become a real hotspot with ever-growing demand from young families. There’s a friendly neighbourhood feel with its cool cocktail bars, tapas parlours and fantastic eateries as well as the landmark Ritz Cinema all clustered along St Pauls Street. We’re seeing lots of interest from families due to Randwick’s proximity to Coogee Beach as well as its great schools, healthcare facilities and transport links. It’s more affordable compared to neighbouring beachside suburbs but better infrastructure means that commuting time is halved compared to suburbs like Clovelly and Bronte which can have a really positive impact on family life.”
Daniel’s listing at 26 Creer Street, Randwick is tucked away in a leafy cul-de-sac a 650m walk to The Spot and around the corner from Bangor Park. The architect designed four-bedroom home opens out to a lush garden oasis with a sparkling pool and captures sweeping district views to Botany Bay from the master bedroom. Charlie Beaumont’s listing at 40 Canberra Street, Randwick is just a few hundred metres away. Perfect for the large or growing family, the newly renovated Federation home features a spacious two-storey main residence and a self-contained apartment ideal for in-law or au pair accommodation with a rental return of approx $600 per week.
Launched this week, Daniel’s listing at 1/52 Cowper Street, Randwick presents an appealing alternative to a semi with its huge on-title courtyard and slick renovation. Offering over 170sqm of living space plus garaging, the private courtyard apartment is on the edge of Frenchmans Road’s village hub, an easy walk to Centennial Park and 750m to the Wansey Road light rail stop.
If you’re looking for a great market entry or savvy investment, check out 8/237 Darley Road, Randwick.

And if it’s an opportunity you’re after, Daniel has listed one of the best development sites we’ve seen in years. Set on a dual access 550sqm block with R3 residential zoning, the original double-fronted cottage at 41 Carrington Road, Randwick offers incredible scope for reinvention in a sought-after pocket of Randwick North.
