Park life is the good life as living a healthy outdoor lifestyle is key to physical and mental wellbeing and those lucky enough to live near one of Sydney’s fine urban parklands have access to the power of nature which has huge benefits for minds, body and soul. Even looking out onto scenes of nature reduces stress, lowers blood pressure and boosts dopamine levels.

Living close to nature is more desirable than ever and we’ve had some excellent results in parkside suburbs over the past month. Recent results include 52 Alt Street, Queens Park which sold after only a week on the market for $5.435m which is a new record for a semi in Queens Park, 7 Stanley Street, Queens Park sold for around $4.7m after 28 days on the market and 33 Isabella Street, Queens Park also sold prior to auction with 115 groups inspecting the property throughout the campaign.

Parkside apartments are also attracting plenty of interest with 55 groups inspecting the one-bedroom loft apartment at 7/226 Bronte Road, Waverley before it sold for $1.13m after 17 days on the market.

Those wanting to get back to nature but also be close to the beach and village hubs should check out 15 Wallace Street, Waverley. Conceived by KY Design, the newly renovated home features a 9m frontage to Varna Park and has been designed to take full advantage of its gloriously green outlook.

Thomas Fuller says, “This is the ultimate turnkey opportunity for the active family in fantastic spot with the park and adventure playground as a virtual extension of the front yard. In the catchment for Clovelly Public School and an easy walk across the park to Macpherson Street village, the four-bedroom home comes with a dream kitchen, luxurious master suite and triple parking. One of the best features is the self-contained lower level apartment with its own private entry ideal for guest/au pair accommodation or as an income earner so that it can adapt to a family’s changing needs.”

Small in size but big on lifestyle, Queens Park is one of the east’s newest suburbs which until 1992 formed part of Bondi Junction. Flanking Centennial Park and Waverley village, just 2km to Bronte Beach, the leafy enclave is a perfect spot for the active family offering a balance of urban living and access to the great outdoors with cricket nets, football pitches, a cycleway and interactive playground as well as a massive off-leash area making it a favourite with dog walkers.
