About Sydney

Life in Sydney

Sydney is the island’s largest community and its everyday hub. The waterfront boardwalk and the Big Fiddle, the shops and restaurants of Charlotte Street, Wentworth Park, the regional hospital and the airport are all a short drive from almost any street in town.

Homes range from older character houses near downtown and the North End to newer streets heading out toward Sydney River, so there is room for first homes, growing families and downsizers alike.
