Browse property in Charles Street

Charles Street sits within the historic Redfern district, where the legacy of early 19th‑century estates such as Cleveland House and the former Cleveland Gardens has given way to a varied streetscape of heritage‑listed buildings and later residential infill. The street reflects the suburb’s evolution from gentleman’s lands to a dense urban neighbourhood, offering a mix of modest terraced homes and larger converted dwellings that echo the area’s long‑standing character. Its proximity to the former tram corridor, now a busy four‑lane thoroughfare, reinforces the historic link between transport and development in the locality.

Cleveland Street, which runs just a short walk away, provides the primary east‑west connection, linking City Road with Anzac Parade and carrying up to 20 000 vehicles a day; it is served by regular bus routes after the 1958 tram withdrawal and sits directly over the railway lines to Central and Redfern stations. Within a 0.5 km radius residents enjoy a cluster of amenities, including Redfern Park, St Maron’s Cathedral, Redfern Oval, the Surrey Club Hotel, and Inner Sydney High School, while nearby churches, the town hall and backpacker hostel add cultural and social options to everyday life.
