Most buyers purchasing in The Avenues by Deicorp aren’t discovering East Zetland for the first time. They’re already within two kilometres of it. They know which café nearby does the better flat white, which shortcut avoids Joynton Avenue at peak hour, and exactly how long it takes to get to Green Square Station. What they’re looking for isn’t a new suburb, but a better version of the one they've already chosen, which is why they are turning to The Avenues.

Here’s what a day here could look like for you.

Morning: the coffee run gets an upgrade

The day starts the way it always has, with a coffee in your stylish kitchen or somewhere local. The difference is that “somewhere local” is now downstairs. The Avenues is built around new village-style retail at street level, with alfresco cafés and boutique stores designed to bring morning coffee rituals and weekend strolls right to the doorstep.

For someone who already has a favourite order at a café 10 minutes away, the appeal here is the proximity. It’s the same neighbourhood, just with one less thing to plan around.

Midday: the park across the road, now with somewhere for the kids

By midday, the pull is Gunyama Park. The Avenues sits directly opposite Gunyama Park and its world-class Aquatic and Recreation Centre, home to heated outdoor and indoor lap pools, children’s play area, fitness facilities, and open lawns perfect for anyone who values being active without needing to drive anywhere to do it.

For a limited time, purchasers who secure an apartment at The Avenues will receive a 12-month membership to the Centre.

What’s new is Gunyama Park Playground, recently opened directly across the road and is deemed Sydney’s largest playground. The 6,300 sqm space offers new open space, with 70 metres of tunnels and tube slides, a skate plaza, a water play area, and more than 150 newly planted trees. For families, the daily loop of school run, park, and home just got shorter. It’s proof that the precinct keeps building on itself.

Afternoon: everything you need closeby

The Avenues is positioned within easy reach of the inner-city villages that make East Zetland living a breeze, with Rosebery and Alexandria six minutes away, Surry Hills eight, and Newtown, Darlinghurst, Moore Park, and Paddington all within 10. Rosebery, Alexandria, and Surry Hills bring designer outlets, artisan finds, and cult fashion labels for anyone after a considered wardrobe or homewares refresh, while Newtown adds its own eclectic nightlife to the mix. Further afield, Double Bay rounds things out with fine dining by the harbour.

Nothing here asks a local to give anything up. If anything, the connections sharpen: Green Square Station an 11-minute walk away, Waterloo Metro six minutes by car, and East Village Shopping Centre close by for the weekly shop, with Green Square Primary School and Sydney Boys and Girls High Schools among the nearby options for families.

Come summer, the eastern beaches, including Bronte and Bondi, are an easy 15-minute drive away.

Evening: your home with landscaped gardens

Inside, the apartments are designed with an indoor-outdoor flow that opens living spaces onto balconies and terraces, framed by the greenery of The Avenues’ own gardens. Three distinct garden zones landscaped by Land and Form Studios – meditation lawns, social terraces, garden trails, and outdoor BBQ areas among them – sit around a central walkway, giving residents somewhere to gather or simply wind down without leaving the site.

For those after a wider outlook, the resident rooftop garden offers sweeping views over the neighbourhood, ideal for watching the sun go down.

“This unique garden setting sets The Avenues apart with its series of beautiful green spaces encouraging connection with others and nature.”

Craig Baudin, partner and lead architect of Fender Katsalidis
