About Randwick

Randwick sits on the elevated ridge between Sydney's eastern beaches and Centennial Park, a substantial suburb of nearly 29,000 residents with a character all its own. Home to UNSW and Prince of Wales Hospital, it has a youthful, educated demographic reflected in its excellent median income. The Light Rail has dramatically improved connectivity, putting Circular Quay within easy reach.

The Spot precinct is legendary—a heritage strip of cafes, restaurants, and the iconic Ritz Cinema that epitomises Sydney's relaxed café culture. Royal Randwick Racecourse adds glamour, while Coogee Beach is a short walk or bus ride away. Randwick attracts academics, medical professionals, and young families who appreciate culture, convenience, and coastal accessibility. It's sophisticated but unpretentious—the eastern suburbs at their most liveable.

Randwick falls under postcode 2031 and is governed by Randwick Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Coogee electorate.
