Market Intelligence

Chifley is a small, prestigious coastal suburb in Sydney's eastern suburbs, located 12km southeast of the CBD. This tightly-held residential enclave is bounded by Anzac Parade and sits just 1-2km from Maroubra Beach, offering residents exceptional coastal lifestyle amenities. The suburb is predominantly apartment-focused with limited housing stock, making it popular with young professionals, downsizers, and investors seeking eastern suburbs exposure. Chifley benefits from excellent connectivity via Anzac Parade, proximity to Westfield Eastgardens, and access to Centennial Park. The area commands premium prices due to its coastal location, limited supply, and strong rental demand. Transport options include multiple bus routes along Anzac Parade, though no direct rail connection exists. The suburb's small size and strategic location between the beach and CBD create strong investment fundamentals, with consistent capital growth and solid rental yields typical of the eastern suburbs market.
