Waterloo

One of Sydney’s oldest industrial heartlands, Waterloo is roaring into the 21st century with tech-savvy energy and a focus on food, antiques and art.

Warehouses have been transformed; once-gritty streets are now bustling with cafes and up-market providores, and formerly bleak urban landscapes are pulsing with creative life.

FROM VICTORIAN TERRACES TO EXUBERANTLY MODERN APARTMENTS

One and two-storey terraces with iron lace balconies and high ceilings are set near towers of modern apartments, many with sweeping views of the city skyline. With a rich palette of housing that caters for all tastes, a local market in nearby Joynton park, and a range of providores and upmarket delicatessens, Waterloo is an increasingly interesting, diverse and developing neighbourhood. Catering for all ages, local parks and a brand new adventure playground are on hand for children in Waterloo.

LOCAL PROGRESS

Just four kilometres south of Sydney’s central business district, Waterloo is part of the City of Sydney’s plan for a revitalised urban hub around the Green Square railway station. Industrial sites have already been transformed into cutting-edge residential and commercial buildings. Soaring apartment towers have sprung up along South Dowling Street and a wide array of facilities is planned for the precinct, including a library and an expansive recreation and aquatic centre.

EASY TRAVELLING

As well as being served by Sydney buses and cycle-paths, Waterloo is slated to have its own dedicated underground railway station to cater for the needs of this flourishing suburb.
