2036: Sydney’s Coastal Hotspot For Family Buyers

24 Oct 2025

This week we’re turning our focus to Sydney’s quiet achiever, the 2036 postcode where space, sunshine and coastal calm come together. Stretching across Chifley, Malabar and Matraville to Phillip Bay, Little Bay and La Perouse, this pocket of the east has become the go-to for families seeking more room to move and a stronger connection to the coast without compromising on style or convenience. From architecturally designed homes with resort-style pools to brand-new turnkey builds ready to move straight into, 2036 delivers a relaxed outdoors way of life where morning surf checks, weekends playing golf and sunset walks along Malabar Headland are part of the everyday rhythm.

Our 2036 specialist Christian West says, “There’s a real shift happening and coastal living without the crowds is the new luxury. We’re seeing plenty of buyers who want that same eastern beaches vibe, just with more room to breathe. Our 2036 properties are flying out the door, with huge interest from east coast buyers from places like Bondi, Bronte and Maroubra wanting more space and a quieter lifestyle. It’s laidback and so connected but with a much calmer pace of life.”

Team West secured two great sales in the 2036 postcode this week. The newly built dream home at 21 Zions Avenue, Malabar sold after only five days on the market for $4.715m, achieving a new suburb record for a duplex in Malabar with 34 buyers through the home in less than a week before it was snapped up. The renovated mid-century classic at 4 The Boulevarde, Malabar sold after 18 days on the market with buyers from all along the east coast, particularly Tamarama and Clovelly, looking for a freestanding house near the beach.

The team has a choice of three homes in the 2036 region on the market that fit the bill for family buyers. The just-launched masterpiece at 38A Burket Street, Chifley sets a new benchmark for the area with its dreamy Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic, high-end finishes and beautifully landscaped gardens. The swoon-worthy double-fronted home features every conceivable luxury including a pool, internal lift and a whole floor dedicated to a wellness zone and comes with a buyer’s guide of $3.3m.

On the best street in Matraville, right on the cusp of Malabar, 23A Meehan Street, Matraville overdelivers in terms of style, space and liveability with headland views. A striking sculptural facade, high-end interiors and a tropical resort-style garden oasis with sunny pool combine to deliver a perfect environment for family living in one of the eastern coast’s most idyllic settings.

Newly built, impeccably appointed and conceived as a private family haven, 3A Lasseter Avenue, Chifley draws inspiration from boutique hotel style with pitch-perfect proportions, glamorous interiors and a landscaped backyard that’s a perfect spot to get the party started along with panoramic sunset views. Close to Malabar Beach and with plenty of space from the large or growing family, the five-bedroom home offers the ultimate in turnkey luxury.

All of our 2036 properties will be open for inspection tomorrow, so please click on the links for full specs or call Christian on 0432 741 888 or Tom Sandy on 0433 663 415 and come on down to see what makes this coastal pocket such a perfect place to raise a family.
