If someone offered you three guesses to pinpoint which city plays host to the most expensive suburbs in Australia, chances are, itโ€™d be a waste of two guesses.

Yes, as predictable as it may be, Sydney โ€“ more specifically, the Eastern Suburbs โ€“ has once again dominated yet another property-related list, comfortably occupying nine out of the top ten spots. This time around, the breakdown comes from CoreLogicโ€™s Best of the Best 2020 Report which ranked domestic locales based on median housing values.

The idyllic harbourside corner that is Darling Point secured the throne by a considerable margin, with its eyebrow-raising $7.06 million median house price โ€“ a figure which would likely shatter records in most parts of the country.

Darling Pointโ€™s closest competition is Bellevue Hill at second place with $5.72 million, followed closely by Vaucluse at $5.39 million, Double Bay at, $4.76 million, with the top five rounded out by Woolwich at $4.2 million. The overarching trend? Proximity to water.

The lone exception can be found in the #7 spot, where Melbourneโ€™s Toorak offers something of a reprieve from Sydneyโ€™s hegemony. Boasting a respectable median house price of $4 million, as you can see in the featured images above, thereโ€™s regular coolโ€ฆ and then thereโ€™s Toorak cool.

Take a look at the full list of Australiaโ€™s most expensive suburbs below.
