Waterloo Suburb Profile

Waterloo is a neighbourhood that’s caught in the midst of a game of tug of war. Elements of its industrial and working-class past remain in sharp contrast with the modern apartment complexes along the eastern side of Waterloo. Living in Waterloo means being part of a neighbourhood that is becoming a highly valuable part of Sydney. Danks Street has attracted some big names in the arts and design industries. High-end designer homeware stores sit alongside art galleries in repurposed warehouses and new developments. Amidst all of this is an enviable café and dining scene that offers an array of local and international flavours. 

With easy access to neighbouring Moore Park, a network of bike trails, and Waterloo Oval, locals can enjoy the great outdoors. You don’t have to wander too far from home before you’re immersed in other Sydney gems – whether it’s the thriving food destination of Surry Hills or a cultural fix at Carriageworks. Living in Waterloo also means having everything at your fingertips.
