Randwick is a diverse, safe and thriving neighborhood in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.

The North Randwick area (between Frenchmans Road/Queens Park) is a delight. Green, lush, a fantastic sense of community and beautiful little shops.

Randwick is a really awesome suburb, neighbouring Coogee beach. The spot has great variety and there's a shopping centre amidst everything.

One thing no one seems to talk about is the flight path. If you are considering buying in Randwick, DO NOT BUY IN SOUTH RANDWICK LIKE I DID!! The closest to daceyville you are, the more you will hear planes take off all day and night due to the mode 9 operation by the airport.

I asked around and had the real estate agents blatantly lie to me (surprise) and want to warn anyone who is a light sleeper that anything from barker st and below is a major flight path!!

Originally it was a swampy part of the Sydney Common and later became a water reserve called Lachlan Swamps. The wetlands have been filled and drained and now a small remnant of parkland is surrounded on 3 sides by houses. Whilst there are trees in the suburb, they are much sparser than other old and established areas in Sydney.

The actual park was developed to celebrate Australia’s centenary in 1888 and was created out of swampland. When money was needed to maintain and develop the park land on the edge was sold off and a suburb was created.

Strict guidelines were set down as to what sort of houses were to be built – there were to be no wooden or terrace houses. The houses were to be of brick or stone and their roofs were to be tile or slate. Home units were not built in the suburb until the 1960’s. There are no figures available for average house prices in the suburb but the median price for units is $418,000.

I used to live on the border of Randwick and Kingsford and hence know this suburb pretty well. This is a lovely suburb that is located right next to The University of New South Wales. There is a good mix of both houses and low to medium density residential units. Land sizes here tend to be smaller than the ones out in the West but prices of real estate are definitely dearer. Due to its proximity to the university, properties here are always in high demand. Randwick is also very accessible by public buses and it is only about a twenty minutes' bus ride to the city. Additionally, Randwick is only a short walk to Coogee beach.

Belmore Street is the hub of the suburb. This street features restaurants, cafes, real estate agents, Randwick Plaza Shopping Centre, boutiques and the list goes on. During the day, Belmore Street gets very busy and congested as many locals come here to dine and shop. Further along Ranwick, towards Perouse and St. Paul's Street, is what is known as "The Spot". This is the quirky part of Randwick and is home to the famous Randwick Ritz cinema. There are many small cafes and restaurants around this area. "The Spot" is a popular destination for locals and university students.

Randwick is definitely a great neighbourhood as it is very convenient and close enough to the beach.
