Coogee Beach: Seaside Elegance with a Casual Twist

Few suburbs embody Sydney’s coastal lifestyle quite like Coogee. Golden sand, a lively village atmosphere, ocean pools, coastal headlands, and a community that feels like a neighbourhood, not a postcode — Coogee blends beach culture with year-round liveability in a way few suburbs can match.

What began as a seaside holiday destination has evolved into a refined residential market. Beneath its laid-back exterior sits a high-performing property sector driven by heritage homes, architectural rebuilds, ocean-view apartments, and premium streets that now anchor eight-figure results.

Coogee — and South Coogee in particular — has matured into a prestige corridor where lifestyle, identity, and capital growth intersect.

2025 Market Performance

Strong buyer depth, limited blue-chip stock, and renewed executive and expat demand have positioned Coogee as one of the most competitive markets in the eastern coastal belt.

  • 405 properties sold

  • Eight-figure sales normalising along beachfront & headland streets

Lifestyle Appeal: The Intangible Advantage

Coogee’s success is driven by a balance that few suburbs deliver:

  • A relaxed village culture with cafés, dining & wellness

  • Ocean pools, cliff walks & protected swimming coves

  • Strong school access and family-friendly infrastructure

  • Proximity to Randwick, UNSW, Prince of Wales & the Light Rail

It offers the lifestyle of Bondi — with less noise and more neighbourhood.

South Coogee now amplifies that identity, attracting buyers who want scale, privacy, and quiet luxury perched above the sea.

Who’s Buying in 2025

  • Upsizing families from Randwick, Clovelly & Maroubra

  • Expat returnees securing a beachfront base

  • Professionals seeking walkable lifestyle access

  • Investors targeting stable rental demand & capital resilience

For many, Coogee is the ideal middle ground: coastal prestige without the Bondi premium.
