Located 6km south-east of the Sydney CBD and a similar distance south-west of Bondi Beach, Kensington is home to the University of South Wales, the National Institute of Dramatic Art and the Australian Golf Club, as well as being right next door to the Randwick Racecourse and minutes from Centennial Park.

Residents are typically in their twenties and relatively affluent.

It’s also a multicultural area, with around 56% of residents born in Australia; other residents typically come from the UK, Indonesia, New Zealand and China.

The number of stock currently up for sale rose 4% during the past 12 months, however, there’s no indication of an oversupply as demand continues to run hot.

Good areas to buy in include the streets near to the university for the student rental market, as well as the northern end of the suburb near Centennial Park.

The streets around Anzac Parade are popular too, especially for bus access to the CBD, but it is probably worth staying off the Parade itself.
