Dover Heights
With property values right up there alongside Eastern Suburbs heavyweights Vaucluse, Bellevue Hill and Watsons Bay, Dover Heights is renowned for sweeping ocean views to the east and a captivating panorama of Sydney’s beautiful skyline to the west.
Many residents enjoy just that, as they have done since the early days of settlement. Even the military know just how good the view is. Back in 1942, the main guns at Dover Heights were amongst those called upon to take aim when three Japanese midget submarines entered Sydney Harbour.
Residents of this exclusive postcode also enjoy the advantage of being close to the CBD, with a wide range of transport options available. The Vaucluse to Dover Heights Coastal Cliff Walk is popular for its fantastic scenery and residents can choose from tranquil harbour beaches like Rose Bay or the sun, surf and sand at Bondi.
Dover Heights may not be as famous as its southern neighbour, but this affluent seaside suburb was instrumental in the story of Australia’s music scene. Rock icon Johnny O’Keefe grew up in one of Dover Heights’ magnificent homes and went on to become Sydney’s very own ‘Wild One’.
The fabulous shopping precincts of Double Bay and Bondi Junction are just minutes away, not to mention world-class golf courses, excellent public schools and some of Sydney’s most exclusive private schools.
The streets are typically wide, tree-lined avenues flanked by equally impressive homes boasting huge gardens and rolling lawns. Perfect for sitting back on a deckchair watching the big yachts glide past on Boxing Day or drinking champagne as the New Year’s Eve fireworks light up the night sky.
