A suburb with a split personality that’s got some slick modern and natural touches – at the cost of price and an increasingly straining infrastructure.

Incredibly charming, character-rich suburb is steeped in history and well kept, but out of financial reach of most and with some other minor flaws.
Is this suburb pleasant, or GenericVille? High-density, mass-produced living close to the Sydney CBD will not be for everyone, but it has some practical value.
Gorgeous parks, greenery, location & waterfront access are offset somewhat by the combination of price and noise.
Essentially an extension of central Sydney, hilly, small Edgecliff offers an extremely short commute and handy access to amenities in return for apartment rental prices that aren’t too bad given its location.
Non-descript southern Sydney suburb offers a handy location as its main calling card, although is no longer cheap and so has lost much of its appeal as a bargain.
Classy, older-leaning and highly green North Shore suburb offers plenty of peace and space, but little to see or do outside its natural offerings.
Grand, peaceful North Shore suburb also boasts ‘grand’ house prices, although rail connectivity & some added higher-density housing in recent years help somewhat.
A suburb without a consistent overall theme, Riverwood nonetheless provides a reasonably appealing combination of price and flexibility for its location.
Dense Asian dining meets rolling, impressively green back streets for one of Sydney’s most interesting suburban contrasts. Shame about the traffic issues though.
