KIRRIBILLI SYDNEY

Kirribilli Sydney- has a million-dollar view in a city full of great views. It’s perched just across Sydney Harbour from the iconic Opera House and with views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Unfortunately, million-dollar views cost, well… a million dollars. Yes, you can find smaller homes for less, but they’re still pricey.

This is a relatively dense area of low rise and midrise apartment buildings. You’ll have a couple senior government officials as neighbours (the jury is out on whether that’s a good thing). The Governor-General of the country resides at Admiralty House, and it’s also home to Kirribilli House, a secondary residence/beach pad for Australia’s sitting Prime Minister. The positive is that police are always nearby since they sit outside these properties — not that you’ll need the police here.

Kirribilli is bordered on the north by North Sydney, on the east by Neutral Bay, on the south by Sydney Harbour, and on the west by Lavender Bay.
