If you were wondering what exactly “livability” refers to…The Philips Center for Health and Well-being call it a vision of the three important and interlinked ingredients: Resilience (city into the natural environment), Inclusiveness (social cooperation of residents) and Authenticity (sense of pride and belonging of those who live there).
Director at Ray White Double Bay and local Sydney property expert Craig Pontey believes that liveability is very subjective, however in his experience he has found that “Most Sydneysiders are adapting to a denser environment based on apartment living as long as amenities and public transport are part of the new urban neighbourhood”. He went on to sayrestaurants and cafes, shopping, arts and culture, and schools are vital in determining what most Sydneysiders consider liveable.
It comes as no surprise that Sydney is routinely ranked among the world’s most liveable cities. But which are the most liveable parts of Sydney? Whilst there are a few surprises, the Eastern Suburb’s Surrey Hills, Potts Point and Randwick are high on the list, having very central locations that are equally beautiful and convenient.
