Housing & Dwellings in Bondi Beach
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
High housing costs and a heavy reliance on renting have shaped the local landscape in Bondi Beach since the last census. The area is now dominated by expensive apartments, with typical weekly rents far exceeding national figures. This has created a market where a huge majority of residents rent their homes rather than owning them.
