Sandwiched between Bondi Junction’s retail hub and Bronte Beach, the charming village hubs of Waverley and Queens Park offer that perfect blend of parkside appeal and urban convenience that’s ideally suited to families and professionals. With the lively village hub of Charing Cross at its social heart, Waverley is renowned for its quality schools, close-knit community and easy access to the city and beaches. One of Sydney’s first ever villages, the action of Charing Cross is centred along the high street of Bronte Road where you’ll find everything from a blow-dry bar and boutiques to bakeries and local favourites like Bronte Road Bistro, Bellagio Cafe and Franks Deli.

Alexander Phillips says, “Waverley and Queens Park have always been popular with families but recent gentrification and growth in the village hubs of Charing Cross and Frenchmans Road have made these parkside pockets even more desirable. The friendly village atmosphere, great schools and excellent transport links are big drawcards and, although just over 1km to Bronte Beach, offer much more bang for your buck.”
