ALEXANDRIA Real Estate For RECENT SALES

ALEXANDRIA, once largely industrial, is now popular with your professional couples looking for an affordable home close to the city and Newtown's lifestyle attractions.

Taking its name from Princess ALEXANDRIA, the wife of King Edward VII, the suburb dates back to 1868. Originally a residential area in the early 20th century ALEXANDRIA became a strongly industrial area due to its proximity to the rail yards and brick works. In the 1990's ALEXANDRIA again changes and large industrial sites have been redeveloped for inner city living.

In the area known as the 'Golden Triangle' classic terraces and semi detached houses can be found, the larger of the terraces in Belmont and Lawrence Streets. Many have now been restored to former glory or renovated into contemporary homes. Modern apartment blocks and warehouse conversions complete ALEXANDRIA's residential areas.

The suburbs location is key to its popularity with proximity to the city as well as Surry Hills and Erskineville. It provides fabulous transport links with Redfern and Erskineville train stations as well as major bus routes.

Residents of ALEXANDRIA enjoy some of Sydney's finest restaurants, cafes and shops within walking distance.
