Modelled from 169,861 Australian auction sales (2021–2026). Sydney cells run on the base model (suburb prior + configuration + time) without the Sydney-only land/school/transport features — ranges are honest about the wider uncertainty.

2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $705 → $1000/wk median new-tenancy rent in 2024, all dwellings pooled · +7% over the last 12 months (latest four quarters averaged against the previous four).

Every figure is from NSW Fair Trading rental bond lodgements (CC BY) — rents tenants actually signed at, not advertised asks. Postcode is the finest geography the source publishes, and a postcode may span more than one suburb. Middle half = 25th–75th percentile. New-tenancy rents run hotter than sitting rents. Not financial advice.

Crime — recorded key offences (BOCSAR)

Index 33 — below the Sydney average (50 = average) · band low

BOCSAR recorded key offences per resident at POSTCODE level (2024) — a postcode can span neighbouring suburbs. Rates are per RESIDENT — visitor-heavy precincts read high. Source: NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (CC BY 4.0).

Delivered & approved supply — what got built around here, honestly windowed

264 dwellings approved in Bronte between 2019-08-30 and 2023-04-29 (501 applications). Largest: 55dw 107 Macpherson Street Bronte 2024 (2020).

Census check: occupied dwellings grew from 2,447 (2016) to 2,903 (2021) — +456 delivered in that window, +123 of them apartments — measured completion, independent of any approval record.

Council portal records begin August 2019 — approvals before that date are invisible to the automated count and appear here only where curated from public record (and say so). Approved also precedes completed by 1–3 years. State-assessed projects live in the fast-track section, not these counts.

Known pipeline within 2.5km: 709 dwellings across 10 projects — future supply IF approved and built. More homes coming can mean growth in services and momentum, but also more stock competing with a resale.

These proposals go straight to NSW state assessment (Housing Delivery Authority pathway) and never appear in council DA counts. Dwelling numbers are the applicant's EOI figures — assessment can trim them. Distance is suburb-centre to project, ±500m.

Schools — density, catchment and community profile

5 primary schools within 2km · nearest school ~0.43km · 3 selective within 5km · ICSEA 1135

Catchment (suburb-centre approximation): Bronte PS · Rose Bay SC — a boundary address can differ; verify yours at NSW School Finder.

ICSEA is the socio-educational advantage of a school's community (My School, national average ~1000) — a demographic measure, not a quality or results score. NSW DoE school locations + intake zones, CC BY 4.0.

Housing and jobs targets — WAVERLEY LGA

Under the NSW Government's 20-year Sydney plan, WAVERLEY has a five-year housing target of 2,400 new homes (2024–2029) and a jobs target of 3,500–5,800 additional jobs by 2046.

The housing target is the supply pipeline for the area: the number of new homes the state expects the council to plan capacity for, concentrated around the centres and station areas the Plan nominates. The jobs figure is published as an aspirational range and is not legislated the way housing targets are.
