Spanning the coastline from Bondi through to Maroubra, there is a wide choice of real estate available from studio apartments to grand coastal mansions which take advantage of beachside positions and sweeping coastal views.

Prices range from as little as $300,000 to in excess of $5 million for some of the more salubrious residences.

The architecture of the area reflects a 100-year history from terraces, federation family homes and semi detached cottages to older style apartment buildings.

But one thing can be said for the entire region - it's constantly being developed and improved.
