Browse property in Short Street

Short Street sits within Balmain’s heritage‑conservation precinct, where modest Victorian and Edwardian cottages sit beside semi‑detached terraces and a growing share of flats and units, a mix that reflects the suburb’s post‑industrial gentrification and its 2021 median weekly household income of $3,039. The street is only 0.1 km from Darling Street, the main commercial spine of the peninsula, and benefits from the low‑speed (≈40 km/h) single‑carriageway road network that feeds into Victoria Road and the Western Distributor.

Transport links are strong: nearby ferry wharves at Thames Street, Elliot Street, Balmain West and Darling Street provide regular Cross Harbour services to Circular Quay, while Transdev bus routes 433, 441, 442 and 445 run through the area. Within easy walking distance sit the Balmain Working Men’s Institute, historic pubs such as the Kent Hotel and Royal Oak, Balmain Library, Balmain Hospital and the leafy White Bay Park, giving residents a blend of retail, cultural and recreational amenities.
