Buyers Agent Lavender Bay
Buying Property in Lavender Bay
Lavender Bay is a small harbourside suburb on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, about 3 kilometres from the CBD, sitting immediately west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge between McMahons Point and North Sydney. It sits within the North Sydney Council local government area and covers just 0.2 square kilometres, making it one of the smallest suburbs on the Lower North Shore.
Home to around 870 residents, Lavender Bay is overwhelmingly an apartment suburb, with houses making up a small fraction of the market. What houses remain include some of the suburb’s grandest Victorian and Federation homes, several heritage-listed, alongside contemporary apartments with harbour and bridge views.
Why buyers love Lavender Bay
Lavender Bay’s best known asset isn’t a building at all. Wendy Whiteley’s Secret Garden, a sprawling harbourside sanctuary that the widow of artist Brett Whiteley began building on derelict railway land in the early 1990s, has turned a forgotten strip of the foreshore into one of Sydney’s most loved public gardens. Buyers are drawn to what surrounds it: a genuinely tiny, tightly held pocket of the harbour, minutes from North Sydney and the CBD by train, ferry or car, with some of the best uninterrupted Harbour Bridge views available anywhere on the Lower North Shore.
Areas of interest for Lavender Bay Buyers
Walker Street: Home to some of Lavender Bay’s grandest Victorian houses, including a harbourfront residence with direct access to the foreshore reserve.
Middlemiss Street: A convenient position between North Sydney and Milsons Point, home to a mix of Art Deco and contemporary apartment blocks.

Access off-market properties in Lavender Bay
We understand there are limited properties on the open market, which can make buying a home stressful, time consuming and frustrating if you miss out on an opportunity.
Lavender Bay is one of the smallest suburbs on the Lower North Shore, and its handful of remaining houses rarely need wide advertising to sell. Whatever comes up, especially anything with genuine harbour frontage, tends to move through established buyer and agent networks well before it reaches Domain or Realestate.com.au, which is why so many buyers turn to Cohen Handler to access off-market and pre-market opportunities.
