About Kangaroo Point
Kangaroo Point is a small and exclusive waterfront suburb located on a peninsula on the southern shores of the Georges River, approximately 22 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD within the Sutherland Shire. The suburb covers just 0.27 square kilometres and is home to around 600 residents, making it one of the most compact and tightly held residential areas in southern Sydney. Its position on a narrow headland gives most properties water frontage or views, lending the suburb a prestige character that is reflected in its real estate values.
Life in Kangaroo Point centres around the water—residents enjoy boating, fishing, and kayaking directly from the foreshore, and the suburb has a quiet, almost village-like atmosphere despite its proximity to major amenities in nearby Sylvania. The suburb shares the 2224 postcode with Sylvania, where residents access supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and Southgate Shopping Centre. Kangaroo Point appeals strongly to affluent families and retirees seeking a peaceful waterfront lifestyle with good access to both Sydney's south and the broader Sutherland Shire.
Kangaroo Point falls under postcode 2224 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Miranda electorate.
