New South Wales is the largest state in Australia and the state’s capital, Sydney, is building the lion’s share of new apartments and townhouses.

Starting your apartment search is easy on Urban with many developers spread right across metropolitan Sydney suburbs offering new units to meet a variety of price points and lifestyle options.

Major regional centres such as Newcastle, Wollongong and the Central Coast also have a wide range of apartment projects under construction and whether you are seeking to invest or simply buy your first home, there are a wide range of apartments and townhouses available off the plan.

Pricing will vary between properties - and sometimes within them - but one of the major price point differentiators will be whether an apartment also has a parking spot attached to it. 

Depending on the property type, parking spots will either be in basement levels or be reliant on street parking - be sure to check with your sales agent.

For those who choose apartment living because they want to live in a vibrant area and not be dependent on a car, many new apartments in Sydney are built within railway station precincts.

And with the large-scale transport infrastructure pipeline that is being rolled out in Sydney over the next decade, many more buying opportunities will present themselves as new public transport services come online.

What property type is right for me?

It’s really up to you and the budget you have available however if apartments are not exactly what you are looking for, consider a townhouse or a house and land package.  

Many Sydney suburban centres are seeing large amounts of infill housing in the form of townhomes and the listings you see on this page include both apartments and townhouses.

Planning for New South Wales

The NSW Government has an extensive infrastructure pipeline that will be delivered over the coming years and in Sydney there are several large-scale works already underway.

The Greater Sydney Region Plan, A Metropolis of Three Cities, is a vision for the entire metropolitan area of Sydney to develop with three distinct major centres: Sydney CBD (‘Eastern Harbour City’), Parramatta (‘Central River City’) and a new centre based around the aerotropolis concept in Western Sydney (‘Western Parkland City’). 

At the heart of the Aerotropolis/Western Parkland City is the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) airport.  Adjacent to the new airport will be a new major centre that will develop over the coming years.

Several new metro lines are either already operational, under construction or in planning.  The first line opened from Sydney’s outer north-west through to Chatswood with the second stage linking Chatswood, the Sydney CBD and Bankstown set to open in 2024.

A new dedicated metro line linking Sydney CBD, Sydney Olympic Park, Parramatta and the Westmead health precinct is set to get construction underway soon and a further third metro line that will link the existing St Mary’s line in the outer west with the new Aerotropolis/Western Parkland City will be under construction within the next few years.

The Sydney metropolitan area is also seeing the largest road project under construction in Australia.  Westlink and another harbour tunnel and northern beaches link will make north-south and east-west road travel a lot quicker and easier for Sydney residents.

Intercity travel to a region like the Central Coast or a regional city like Newcastle or Wollongong could also get easier with the NSW Government having commissioned consultants to look into how regional railways might be improved.

Originally billed as higher speed railways, several corridors were identified.  North to the Central Coast and Newcastle, West over the Blue Mountains, South-west to the Southern Highlands, Canberra and potentially to Melbourne, and South to Wollongong.  At this stage, the NSW Government has not released any further information on expected service levels or construction timelines.

New South Wales Apartments

Land can be scarce within the Sydney basin so residents seeking to buy a property tend to look at apartment and townhome properties first.  

When starting your search, work out the best price point to suit your budget and then register your details on any of the listings which are actively for sale.  

We’ve made it easy for you to find the project which best suits your price point and lifestyle and if you prefer to search for a more specific location, type the name of the suburb or project into the search bar or simply browse by the map of current projects.

The process of buying an apartment

Buying an apartment is a highly individualised process, however there are some key milestones that we can outline.  

Interested buyers will often need to first pay a refundable fee (generally $1000) to reserve a specific unit and again, generally speaking, that reservation will be active until such time as a contract for purchase is signed.  

• If the buyer elects not to proceed, the reservation fee will be refunded.  
• If the buyer elects to proceed with the purchase, broadly speaking, a contract will need to be signed and a 10% deposit (minus the reservation fee already paid) will need to be paid.

Contract signing and taking all the deposits is a key milestone for the developer as, broadly speaking, they will use them as collateral to secure financing for construction of the property.  

When construction of the building has been completed, developers will generally contact you and set up a time to complete the settlement of the transaction.

Settlement is the process of exchanging any deeds and it is when you need to have your finance in order so your bank or another financial provider can then pay the developer for your new home.
