Green spaces aren’t just for exercising, they boost our mental health and wellbeing by forging a connection with nature and community. In fact, even a park view can have an incredibly positive effect by reducing stress and promoting relaxation and that is undoubtedly among the many reasons why Queens Park is such a desirable place to live.

Flanking the eastern edge of Centennial Park, Queens Park is home to playing fields, open green space, an adventure playground and cycleway with close proximity to great schools and Bondi Junction offering the best of both worlds. We have a choice of fantastic homes in this leafy and well connected suburb from substantial family residences to parkside apartments.

Alexander Phillips has a new listing at 26 Alt Street, Queens Park which perfectly encapsulates classic parkside charm while delivering a perfect environment for family living on a private dual access 388sqm with an oversized double garage.
