Bond Street, Maroubra, NSW 2035

Bond Street runs from Duncan Street, down to Marine Parade and it sits at the northern end of Maroubra Beach (fondly referred to as The Bra).

It is a street fairly typical of this area, which is somewhat devoid of trees. It has an open aspect, and there is very little greenery.

The properties are on smallish blocks, are fairly packed together and aside from many houses and apartments here having good ocean views, the vista is a sea of red roofs. The upper part of the street has predominantly older houses, many of the red brick style, and some of the 1970s Italianate – with stuccoed verandas. The lower part of the street is mostly apartment blocks. They are varied in design – some older red and brown brick duplex types – but also there are several brand new modernist designs.

Maroubra has boomed in years of late, and this mix of old and new is indicative of change and can be seen throughout the suburb.

Bond Street is home to the Maroubra Neighbourhood Children’s Centre at the east end. It is a day care facility in a regular house – run by parents.
There is also a corner shop and dry cleaners on the corner – and the wide (and sometimes wild) beach is a moment’s stroll.
