Eastern Suburbs
Bondi Beach
Sydney's most famous beach and the social heart of the Eastern Suburbs, with the Bondi Pavilion, Icebergs Pool and the Bondi-to-Coogee coastal walk anchoring a year-round tourism economy. Mostly Art Deco and Federation apartment blocks plus a clutch of heritage cottages climbing the hillsides. Suits singles, couples, beach lovers and high-end short-stay landlords; less ideal for buyers who don't want tourist crowds at their doorstep.
