Perched along the clifftops between Bondi Beach and Rose Bay, Dover Heights has evolved into one of Sydney’s most exclusive residential enclaves. What was once a quiet neighbourhood is now a blue-chip coastal stronghold — defined by modern architecture, dramatic ocean views, and a lifestyle that feels both elevated and private.
From restored family homes to landmark contemporary residences with glass-edge pools, Dover Heights properties are designed around scale, sunlight, and uninterrupted Pacific horizons. The streets are quiet, the profile is discreet, and the buyers who secure these homes do so with intent — not speculation.
This year, Dover Heights continued to outperform the broader Sydney prestige sector. Limited supply, wealth migration into the east, and the scarcity of clifftop positions have driven significant value uplift across key streets.
