Coogee is the Eastern Suburbs at its most lifestyle-driven — beach at the doorstep, about 7km from the city. It’s overwhelmingly a unit market (around 6,400 units to just 1,400 houses), and freestanding houses almost never trade: only a handful were on the market when the latest data was pulled.

The house market
Houses here are trophy assets — a median sale price of $4.85m, only a few sold in a year, and a yield near 1.7%, the lowest of the five. You’re buying position and lifestyle, pure and simple.
The unit market
For most buyers, units are the realistic entry point: a median of $1.625m and a yield around 3.4%, with strong beachside rental appeal. If you want a foothold in Coogee, the unit market is where it happens — and it’s worth talking to us about an investment loan or your own purchase before you start.
Who it suits
High-income owner-occupiers and upgraders chasing the beachside lifestyle; investors and expats after a coastal unit with dependable demand. Prices are premium, so having your borrowing capacity mapped out early is the difference between watching and buying.
