About Bellevue Hill

Bellevue Hill occupies some of Sydney's most valuable real estate, cascading down harbour-facing slopes about 5 kilometres east of the CBD. This exclusive suburb of roughly 10,600 residents features grand estates, harbour views, and a demographic that includes some of Australia's wealthiest families. Part of Woollahra council, it represents eastern suburbs prestige at its peak.

The wealth here is substantial and established - this isn't new money showing off but generational affluence. Streets are quiet and leafy, with homes hidden behind high walls and manicured gardens. The demographic includes prominent business families, old money, and successful professionals who've reached the top. It's not particularly flashy, preferring understated excellence to ostentation.

Bellevue Hill falls under postcode 2023 and is governed by Woollahra Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Vaucluse electorate.
