Ready to start the process and begin your property journey in Chippendale and Darlington ?
No longer content to be sitting on the sidelines, Chippendale has been busy redefining itself as a creative arts precinct with working-class roots and real grit.
Chippendale and Darlington are full of contrasts in terms of the architectural landscape as well as the locals who call this funky inner-city suburb home.
An inner-city neighbourhood that is on the cusp of something big, the area is rapidly evolving from its working-class roots into one of Sydney’s top creative arts precincts, and there are no signs of slowing down.
Once the local stomping ground of brewery and factory workers, creatives are moving in and transforming warehouses, terraces and workmen’s cottages into art spaces, funky tea houses and cafés. Surrounded by bold street art and tag-ridden back laneways, Chippendale is a living canvas.
As a result of its jaw-dropping refurbishment, Kensington Street has become one of the hottest addresses on the arts scene. A few blocks over the word brunch takes on a new meaning at a line-up of cafés. The major renewal project, Central Park, has added much-needed green space at Chippendale Green.
The University of Technology Sydney, the University of Sydney and the Broadway campus of the University of Notre Dame are all within walking distance, as are Central Train Station, the light rail and major bus routes. Locals tend to ditch the car and walk or cycle their way around.
Although small in size, the area has striking contrasts – beautiful terraces that line neighbourly streets to the high-rise apartments sprouting up on Chippendale’s eastern boundary. It’s an eclectic and vibrant neighbourhood which caters for students, professionals and a burgeoning artistic community.
Chippendale offers intimate, funky cafés, art galleries and hawker-style alfresco dining at Spice Alley. The eastern edge of Chippendale is bustling with commuters and students, while Chippendale’s western side is a much quieter and laid-back residential area.
Once the sun sets pubs and bars steal the show from the cafés. Live music, comedy and trivia nights attract the younger crowd while dining establishments around Kensington Street draw the foodie crowd. Art galleries showcase their latest exhibitions, many offering wine tastings, art dinners, and cocktail evenings.
Ditch the car because everything is a stroll or a short bike ride from home.
