"Nowhere else like it"

Living and dining in Double Bay has been one of those rare experiences where lifestyle genuinely lives up to the reputation.

There’s an energy here that’s hard to replicate anywhere else in Sydney — a mix of beautiful people, effortless style, and a village atmosphere that somehow still feels global. Mornings start with a strong coffee and familiar faces, afternoons roll into long lunches, and evenings blur into some of the city’s best dining without ever needing to leave the suburb.

What really sets Double Bay apart is the calibre and consistency of its restaurants. From refined, white-tablecloth institutions to buzzy, modern dining rooms where deals are done over martinis the atmosphere is exceptional. The patrons always add to the theatre.

As someone who spends their days immersed in property, I’m acutely aware of how rare it is for a location to maintain this balance: prestige without pretence, vibrancy without chaos. Double Bay manages that. It’s social, it’s walkable, and it feels alive — not just a place to live, but a place to be seen and to genuinely enjoy.

It’s no surprise that people who move here tend to stay. Once you’ve lived the Double Bay, you'll never want to leave.

"Great place to live & work"

A great to live, and both lived here and worked here, it’s great for Thursday markets a stroll to the beach near the sailing club during work lunch or at the start or the end of the day!

Great for pubs, restaurants, walks and getting to and from the city and beach - the best of ALL worlds.

"Convenient location with plenty to do"

Recently moved here and loving the ease of getting around. It's close to Edgecliff Train Station and multiple bus routes. Bu you really don't need to leave the suburb. It has all the beaches, shops and entertainment that you'll need within walking distance.

"The wonderful fabric & community & lifestyle of Double Bay"

I live in Double Bay, have a business in Double Bay and the kids go to school in Double Bay.. We have been here through the quieter times when the cinema and the Ritz Carlton closed down... However it is now making a resurgence with the Flag Ship Intercontinental due to reopen, About Life, Dan Murphys and Woolies opening and the new library on its way. There is a spring in the step of the locals with all the new shops opening their doors.

Great for

  • INDIGOS CAFE - BEST CAFE EVER!!
  • Transvaal Ave is the prettiest street and is heritage protected
  • Can always find gorgeous homewares and gifts
  • Friendly safe neighbourhood
  • Redevelopment of Stamford Plaza and Kiaora Lands

Not great for

  • A bit of touch parking happens with the older folk ;-)

"Great Thursday Outdoor Market"

Each Thursday in Guilfoyle Park is a fantastic outdoor market that is a great alternative for not only fresh produce shopping but also for the kids. There is a jumping castle, pony rides and a baby animal zoo. With the breeze through the willows, the sound of the kids laughing and dancing to the musos (who will take requests for the Toddlers Top 10), you can get some beautiful organic fruit and veg, grab some lunch (gozleme proves incredibly popular with young and old), sit at a little Parisian style cafe chowing down on freshly made crepes (and the staff were full French stripes and berets!).

The number of prams seem to increase whenever I visit. A nice quiet place only 1 street away from the main drag which is nice.

Definitely worth a visit

"Affluent residential suburb 10/10 +"

A harbourside eastern suburb, Double Bay is just one of the best places to live, with the nicest restaurants. If you are into labels then you are in your element for boutique shopping. Like coming here and meeting up with friends.
