Extreme postcodes: 2026


What's the suburb with the highest average house price? Not necessarily with the highest individually priced houses (they're all enormous mansions on the harbour). But the highest overall average for an entire suburb?

The winner is: Tamarama. A tiny oceanside suburb, just south of Bondi, where every other house has a multi-million dollar view. As in $5 million, $10 million, or $15 million sometimes. No wonder it's sometimes called 'Glamourama'.




Even this modest looking place away from the sea in Fletcher St is estimated to be approaching $3 million.

When I called in the other day, Tamarama wasn't exactly putting on it's best face. The sky was dark, the sea was ferocious, and the beach - normally home to beautiful locals and hipster travellers - was closed. Rain bands came through every few minutes, and after grabbing my pictures, I hastily retreated.






It still looked a little bit appealing though, and I look forward to my next visit in a couple of months time, when 'Sculptures by the Sea' arrives for its annual extravaganza.
