✨SUBURB SESSIONS✨

Ever wondered how we're choosing which suburbs to cover in Suburb Sessions? 🚗

We're starting with our home turf — every suburb across 5 councils in the east and inner city: Randwick, Waverley, Woollahra, City of Sydney and Bayside. One suburb at a time, working through the list.

But that's not where it ends. We already operate across 7 more LGAs in the inner west and lower north shore, so once the east side's done, we're heading that way too 👀

Here's why it matters: we work with landlords who own properties all over Sydney, not just in one pocket — and Suburb Sessions is us proving we actually know these areas, wherever your properties are. One agent, every suburb, properly across it.

Wedged between Sydney Airport and Port Botany, this suburb's population has grown almost 20% since 2016, driven by a steady stream of shift workers, tradies, and logistics and aviation staff who need to live close to work.

And if you grew up around here, you'll remember the Big Splash The old Botany Aquatic Centre closed for good in April 2025, but it's getting a full rebuild — waterslides, a 50m pool and a gym, reopening for summer 2027/28.

✨SUBURB SESSIONS✨—BOTANY
Welcome to Suburb Sessions — where I share my favourite things about the suburbs Alf and Ko Property operate in.

Let's talk Botany.
Botany is Home to around 13,000 people, sitting in the Bayside Council area, wedged between Sydney Airport and Port Botany. Population's up almost 20% since 2016 — one of the faster-growing suburbs we've covered.

Houses here are renting for around $1,290 a week with yield sitting around 2.9%, but units are the standout: median rent near $900 a week and yield close to 4.8%, the strongest unit yields of any suburb we've covered so far. With the airport and port both right on the doorstep, there's a constant pool of shift workers, tradies, and logistics and aviation staff who need to live close to work — and that steady demand is exactly what's propping up those unit returns.

Growing up, the Botany Big Splash was the place to be — if a mate scored their birthday party there, that was the ultimate flex. So it hit hard when the old Botany Aquatic Centre closed its doors for good in April 2025. Over 300 locals turned up for one last swim, kids jumping in for one final splash before Council locked up behind them.

But it's not gone for good — it's being completely rebuilt into a brand-new leisure centre, with adventure waterslides, an outdoor 50-metre competition pool, a gym and a new grandstand, all set to reopen for summer 2027/28. Once it's back, you expect that the next generation of kids will be fighting over who gets to host their birthday there.

When I'm not managing investment properties, you'll find me at r Larry's Pizzeria & Cocktail Bar off the back of the success of Larrys Pizza van ! This permanent location is serving up amazing for pizza - my daughters all time fav!

This one's personal for me — I went to school at St Vincent's, and my first ever real estate job was on the corner of Orwell and Macleay. So this suburb's basically where it all started.

✨Suburb Sessions✨—POTTS POINT
Where I share my favourite things about the suburbs Alf and KO Property operate in.
Let's talk Potts Point.

This one's personal for me — I went to school at St Vincent's, and my first ever real estate job was on the corner of Orwell and Macleay. So this suburb's basically where it all started.

Potts Point is tiny — just over half a square kilometres — and home to around 7,000 people. It's the most densely apartment-packed suburb we've covered, with close to 90% of all dwellings being units, and it holds the largest concentration of Art Deco architecture anywhere in Australia. Walk down Macleay Street and you're looking at buildings from the 1920s and '30s that haven't changed shape in a hundred years.

In the past 12 months, only 9 houses sold in Potts Point — against 242 units. The market's almost entirely apartments, and it has been for decades. Median rent for units is around $700 a week with yields ranging from 3.8–4.3% depending on the source — one of the more consistent unit yields in the inner city which is propped up by a huge renter population; roughly half of everyone here rents rather than owns.

I’m standing here on challis avenue. One of my favorites streets at the top it meets Macleay street with many restraints and cafes and at bottom of the street you will find McElhone Stairs which leads down to historic wooloomooloo.

When I'm not managing investment properties, you'll find me across the road at Fratelli Paradiso for a meal — or just at any cafe on any of the tree lined streets just people watching.

This suburb's been quietly producing creative talent for over a century, and it's exactly that kind of cultural weight that keeps Darlinghurst rents so resilient.

✨Suburb Sessions✨—DARINGHURST where I share my favourite things about the suburbs Alf and KO Property operate in.

Let's talk Darlinghurst.

Darlinghurst sits in the City of Sydney council area, just two kilometres from the CBD. Population's around 10,600 and growing, and it's about as inner-city as it gets — dense, walkable, full of terraces, and home to a genuine mix of professionals, students, and medical staff.

Darlinghurst's unit stock is a real mixed bag — heritage conversions, '60s and '70s walk-ups, brand-new builds — so which building you buy into matters.. Units genuinely outperform houses on yield here — most current sources put unit yield around 4.1–4.3%, against roughly 2.6–2.7% for houses. It's one of the clearer growth-vs-income splits in the inner city.

Two places tell you everything about this suburb's character. The National Art School sits on the old Darlinghurst Gaol site — a working prison from 1841 to 1914, and when the army finally moved out after WWI, instead of knocking it down they turned the cells into art studios. It's been producing Australian artists ever since.

And just up the road, Tropicana Caffe has been a Darlinghurst institution since 1980 — it's actually where Tropfest was born, now the largest short film festival in the world. Between the two of them, this suburb's been quietly producing creative talent for over a century, and it's exactly that kind of cultural weight that keeps Darlinghurst rents so resilient.

If cash flow's the goal, Kensington units are doing more of the heavy lifting than almost anywhere else in this pocket of Sydney. Here's Why ->

✨SUBURB SESSIONS✨—KENSINGTON

Where I share my favourite things about the suburbs Alf and KO Property operate in.
Let's talk Kensington.

Kensington's a suburb built on students and proximity — walk to uni, walk to the racecourse, ten minutes to the city.

Lets focus on units which achieve $825 a week in rent, and a 4.3% yield — If cash flow's the goal, Kensington units are doing more of the heavy lifting than almost anywhere else in this pocket of Sydney.

And that yield's not an accident. Doncaster Avenue — the Golden Mile — is one of the biggest horse-training precincts in the country, with hundreds of racehorses stabled and walked along the street every morning before sunrise, a few hundred metres from Royal Randwick.

But right alongside it, Scape alone is delivering around 1,500 student beds across a full precinct of towers along Anzac Parade — and even with that scale of building, UNSW's own planning documents point to a shortfall of close to 5,000 purpose-built student beds. That's exactly what's keeping unit demand — and yield — so strong here.

When I'm not managing investment properties, you'll find me at Grandma Moses Bakery & Cafe.

That's Suburb Sessions for today, see you next time.
