Why is it up and coming?
Many of the precincts along Sydney Harbour's historic foreshore are either undergoing or planning revitalisation, including Barangaroo, Circular Quay and the iconic ferry wharves, Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Fish Market at Blackwattle Bay, Bays West, the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct and the Sydney Modern Project, the much anticipated expansion of Art Gallery NSW.
My favourite bits
I enjoy any activity that has our magnificent Harbour Bridge as the backdrop, but a Sydney Sling on the balcony of the Opera House or walking my dogs around Barangaroo Reserve are notable favourites.
Who’s buying?
A mixture of local and international buyers have purchased in the limited number of prime residential projects recently launched along Sydney Harbour.
What will my money buy me?
A new two-bedroom apartment with limited water views on Sydney Harbour starts from A$1.5 million, while an established five-bedroom house with a garden and water views starts from A$5 million.
