Life in Waterloo, 2017.
Waterloo is a vibrant, up-and-coming neighbourhood, buzzing with energy and culture. It’s a place where you can enjoy a lively café culture, explore art galleries, and still find a peaceful park to unwind in. Over the past couple of decades, this area has rapidly transformed, becoming one of the most sought-after places to live in Sydney. Here are some of my favourite things about Waterloo:
The Laneways and Cafes: Waterloo's laneways are lined with trendy cafés and hidden gems (not quite like Melbourne, but close). Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down for a leisurely brunch, there’s always something to discover. A local favourite is Small Talk Espresso Bar, known for its specialty coffee and freshly baked pastries.
Waterloo Park: The park is a central hub for relaxation and recreation. With wide open spaces, playgrounds, and fitness stations, it's a perfect spot for families or anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors. The large community garden allows locals to grow their own herbs and vegetables—truly a green oasis in the heart of the city.
East Village Shopping Centre: A modern, vibrant shopping precinct where you can find everything from quirky boutiques to international fashion labels. It’s also home to some of the best food courts in Sydney—offering a fusion of street food from around the world.
Waterloo Metro Station
The opening of Waterloo Metro in 2024 has been a game changer for Waterloo. The travel time across all parts of Sydney being significantly reduced means it is a very convenient place to live.
Waterloo’s Property Market: The area has experienced a surge in popularity, with many choosing to buy in this vibrant, well-connected location.
If you’re looking to purchase an apartment in Waterloo then here’s my advice:
Find a specific apartment that has a unique feature e.g. an over sized outdoor space. This will help distinguish your asset from the thousands of other apartments in the suburb
Ensure you completely understand the strata risks and issues. Some of the apartment blocks in Waterloo have a less than desirable track record. For more info on this, check out our page on strata reports here.
Waterloo is rapidly becoming one of the most exciting places to live, with its perfect blend of modern amenities, green spaces, and a tight-knit community.
