Market Intelligence
Alexandria is a thriving inner-city suburb located just 4km south of Sydney CBD, making it one of the most accessible and desirable locations for young professionals and investors. The suburb has undergone significant transformation through urban renewal, with modern apartment developments and townhouses dominating the housing stock. Its proximity to Green Square Station and excellent bus connectivity to the CBD makes it highly attractive to renters and owner-occupiers alike. The area boasts a vibrant cafe culture along Botany Road and Henderson Road, while being adjacent to Sydney Park, one of the city's largest recreational spaces.
