Burgeoning cafe scene
With the new Moran development up in Vaucluse the whole cafe society will move even further east towards the top part of Vaucluse near Christison Park, so that in itself is a very unique thing, it’s never happened before, it was always a dead pocket there, so that has made a difference.
So things are happening here after a lot of time with little change - there's also some little shops where New South Head and Old South Head meet.
You’ve got five shops there now, there’s now cafes, you’ve got Grumpy Baker across the road, and there’s a little vibe now, which is something that’s never ever happened and it’s here, and that's all courtesy of what's happening in and around here and they’re getting themselves prepped for a lot of people coming into this little area.
Old South Head Road was a starting point
There's a lot of older art deco apartments here and some twenty years ago this was a place where it was a starting point for those that wanted live in this suburb, it was a very affordable locality being on a main road in general but especially Old South Head Road, was very affordable.
Old South Head Road has changed and morphed to a degree now, but in those days that's what it was and it’s not generational of people that have been here, most people these days stay three to five years in a place, apartments have a lot shorter tenure.
