<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

While sitting in a Serbian prison over an alleged cocaine shipment, the Vaucluse development site of prolific property developer Tristan Waters has been sold.
The sale was signed off by the Supreme Court.
Waters had envisaged a luxury residential project on his site amalgamation on the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-vaucluse-121135102" target="_blank">Chris Bang Crescent</a> dress circle before the bust.
The property he owned, which cost $2.6 million in 2016, recently fetched $3,025,000. It was the 1950s home where The Block host Scott Cam grew up before Waters bought it from his mum, Gay.
It was re-offered as a prime development prospect with sublime ocean views.
Waters also had a caveat lodged on the adjoining property but could not settle on the purchase which would have been a combined 1,230 sqm holding. 
McGrath Edgecliff agent Peter Starr sold the Waters property, while Ray White Double Bay agent Gaving Rubinstein sold the $3.6 million home <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-vaucluse-126576002" target="_blank">next door</a>.
Waters, who had been renting a $2900 a week Rose Bay home before relocating to Dubai, remains in Serbia having appealed against being expedited back to Australia after he and two others were arrested in an alleged major cocaine bust earlier this year.
After his arrest in the lobby of a Belgrade hotel, Waters was one of three accused of importing $500 million worth of cocaine to Australia.
One of the trio accused, prominent steel businessman Rohan Arnold, has been surrendered to Australian authorities, however Waters and fellow co-accused David Campbell remain behind bars.
The drugs, totalling nearly 1,300 kilograms, were found on a Chinese container boat in Sydney last year having been hidden inside pre-fabricated steel.
Waters ran construction firm Triswat Constructions which said it managed 200 construction projects in Australia.

The long-held Billyard Avenue house, home of the late Australian journalist Francis James was passed in at a weekend auction.
It was passed in at $3.35 million, when the only bidder raised his bid from the opening $3 million offer at the onsite auction.
It was offered for sale by his 100 year old widow, Joyce.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-wahroonga-128583430" target="_blank">Billyard Avenue</a> house, Te Whare where encyclopedias lined the many bookcases, dates back to the 1910s. 
James paid £5,950 in 1956 when he was the editor at The Anglican, a publication of the Church of England, working there alongside his wife. 
James, a journalist, was most well known for being imprisoned in China accused of being a spy in 1969.
He spent four years in the prison before being expelled from the country after his old Canberra Grammar school friend, then Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, lobbied for his release.
James was born in 1918 in Queenstown, Tasmania, the son of an Anglican minister.
Luschwitz Real Estate Pymble agent John Luschwitz and Stephen Sales had offered an initial price guide of $3.8 million.
It was briefly listed for $659,000 in 1994, shortly after James' death, by his wife who has only recently moved into aged care.
Set in 2320 sqm park like grounds, the five bedroom home is an original farmhouse built in the arts and craft style, with slate roof and wide return verandah.
It has been listed as a heritage item under the local council since 2015.
Alterations and additions are permissible outback, as the heritage listing relates to the facade.

Rob Shand, the former boss at asset management giant Blue Sky, and wife Anna, have moved closer to Brisbane following the sale of their Pullenvale home.
They've been reported to be the buyers of the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property/209-moons-lane-brookfield-qld-4069" target="_blank">Pullenvale home</a> of Brisbane wholesaler Doug Rylance and wife Chrysanthe.
They paid $2.4 million for the home back in 2009 shortly after it was remodelled.
The four bedroom, three bathroom home on over 1.1 hectares wasn't publicly marketed (above), but locals believe the price will be around $3 million.
The grounds features a 14 metre swimming pool with separate pavilion, a tennis court with self-contained pavilion and a 60 x 20 metre dressage arena that adjoins fenced paddocks.
There's American barn-style stables and storage and 100 year old Hoop Pines on the property.
It sits just six kilometres away from the Shand's former home which they sold recently.
The five bedroom Woodfield Road home, which also featured a swimming pool and tennis court, has been sold to interests associated with Morgans broking analyst Scott "Scooter" Murdoch
The Australian Financial Review noted a priority notice had now been registered on the title of the Woodfield Road property in the name of Murdoch's partner, Shontelle Thomas. 
Around $1.5 million was expected for the home bought for $993,000 back 2013.
Shand stepped down from the role of chief executive of Blue Sky in April.

Nick Liveris, the son of the recently retired Dow chemicals boss Andrew Liveris, has spent $5.25 million in Rose Bay.
He's moving closer to the family from New York.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-rose+bay-127756498" target="_blank">updated 1930s freestanding home</a> on the edge of Rose Bay village has five bedrooms and three bathrooms across its two levels.
The master suite has its own private balcony with district views to Bondi, an ensuite and a fitted dressing room.
There's a poolside entertainer's haven on the 380 sqm parcel.
It last traded for $4.2 million in 2016.
Andrew and wife Paula have a Point Piper bolthole which they paid $8.5 million for in 2015.
Late last year the couple <a href="/news/dow-chemicals-boss-andrew-liveris-sells-at-whale-beach-for-a-loss-to-neighbour">sold their Whale Beach project</a> which they never got round to starting for $3.33 million.

Having pocketed $6.2 million for her Double Bay home, socialite and interior decorator Janelle 'Nellie' Tilley, has downsized to the nearby Bellevue Hill.
Tilley, the former wife of Simon Tilley, brother of James Packer's confidant Ben Tilley, has paid just over $3 million for a harborfront apartment in a boutique block of four.
The four bedroom, two bathroom apartment spans 220 sqm in a 1920s building, with the high ceilings and elegant foyer reflecting the architecture of the era.
Before Tilley's purchase the apartment was seeking a tenant at $1,850 a week.
Tilley scored $6.2 million for her much-publicised Double Bay home nearly a year after it was first listed. It initially had a guide of $6.3 million to $6.9 million. Tilley had paid $2.38 million in 2014.
The three bedroom Victorian terrace in the heart of Double Bay appeared in Vogue Living in 2012 after a renovation. Another update came before its listing.
A flowing floor plan provides two distinct living areas.
An internal atrium with a soaring mosaic wall features, as well as an entertainers' balcony and rear courtyard.
Each of the three bedrooms have their own balcony, while an entry level home office can be set up as a fourth bedroom.
It was initially listed through Di Baker at Di Baker Prestige Properties with a price guide of $6.3 million to $6.9 million with its sold through McGrath.
Tricia and Steve Stevens, who are best known for working for Shark Tank reality television series star Andrew Banks, emerged as the buyers last month.
Tilley's prior works have included the Point Piper apartment of former Goldman Sachs boss Simon Greenaway that fetched $3.2 million in 2016.
There was also her decor in the three storey Paddington terrace of Credit Suisse managing director Paul Allen and his wife Liz Morgan which fetched $4,465,000 in 2014.
The neighbouring apartment was sold recently by Alison Coopes.

E! Australia host Ksenija Lukich and her lawyer husband Dan Bragg have bought their first home ­together.
It is an apartment in Potts Point costing around $1,075,000.
It sits over the tree top ­canopy of Victoria St, with harbour glimpses to the north.
The former model-turned-entertainment reporter has refurnished the apartment in the 1980s block.
Posting to Instagram accompanying a stylish sofa with contemporary Vicki Lee art handing behind, she captioned “cozy (sic) spots at home”. Bragg has been on Instagram too, popping a picture of the red winter sunset.
Their apartment was architecturally redesigned before its last sale when it fetched $765,000 in 2012.
It has sliding wall panels for flexibility between the open-plan living and dining room and the bedroom.
The 85sqm apartment has two bedrooms, one with an adjoining study, a chic marble bathroom and a car space. Laing Real Estate agent Tony Dowling sold the apartment off-market. It first sold in 1985 at $129,000.
The 28-year-old model grew up on the northern beaches and won a contest to become the host of E! Australia in 2014. Lukich and Bragg, who specialises in financial matters at King &amp; Wood Mallesons, last week celebrated their 10-year anniversary ­together.
The couple met at a bar in Cremorne. Lukich went up to him, gave him her number and he called first thing the next morning. He proposed over a Manly sunset after they had fish and chips on the beach.
They wed in 2016 in a traditional Serbian Orthodox Church service in Ingleside, the first Serbian Orthodox Church in Australia which her grandfather helped establish. Her uncle performed the ceremony.
Lukich wore a Steven Khalil-­designed dress, while Bragg’s suit came from the now Tamarama-based tailor Patrick Johnson.

Now playing for the table topping Wests Devils in the Illawarra Rugby League, the Manly Sea Eagle's legend Glenn Stewart and wife Jo have listed their former Frenchs Forest home.
Stewart bought the Frenchs Forest home in 2010 when he was with the Sea Eagles, but it became a $1,100 a week rental shortly after he moved to the French-based Super League club Catalans Dragons.
He paid $930,000 for the 1960s home on 755 sqm. It has three bedrooms and an outdoor entertaining area overlooking a pool and spa.
It is currently tenanted until early 2019.
SkyLine Real Estate agents Stuart Bath and Noushin Byrnes have a price tag of $1,679,000.
Stewart played 185 games for Manly and won the 2008 and 2011 Premierships, winning a Clive Churchill Medal in the process.
He is the older brother of former teammate Brett Stewart.

Longtime Sydney Swans AFL coach John Longmire and wife Shelley have found a buyer in quick time for their Malabar home, set just 200 metres from the beach.
They secured the sale after just one Saturday morning inspection, and the paperwork all signed within just nine days.
It sold far quicker that the lengthening median 37 days on market in the coastal eastern suburb.
Malabar has seen a string of big money sales which has pushed the median price to its record high, currently sitting at $2.35 million.
The suburb record price has stood at $4.38 million since 2016.
Inspectees of the Longmire's were told they were hoping for around $2.75 million.
Having paid $1.7 million in 2011, shortly after Longmire was given the top coaching job, the house has been extensively renovated, with typical beach themes of blue and white running inside and outside the home.
The couple moved from Melbourne where Longmire played for North Melbourne, with whom the Swans play Sunday afternoon at Etihad Stadium.
They resided in Marrickville and Clovelly before heading to Malabar.
Their two level, four bedroom home features upstairs master retreat with lounge and study space opens to a balcony with ocean, bay and headland views.
Internal renovations came in 2013, then the pool and cabana last year.
They also secured approval for a potential new $1.1 million, three level, five bedroom home.
South Eastern Realty Malabar agents Greg and Angela Gladstone snappily sold the home.
Longmire, a premiership winning coach in his second season in charge, has got big property shoes to fill if he wants to compete with the property endeavours of the former Swans coach Paul Roos in the coastal eastern Sydney property market.
Roos, who coached Sydney from 2002 to 2010 before handing the reigns over to Longmire, peaked in South Coogee selling for $5.4 million in 2014 following his decision to head to Melbourne.
Many of Swans coaches have owned around the eastern suburbs.
Ricky Quade, who was the inaugural coach after South Melbourne relocated to Sydney in 1982, has remained an active owner. His most recent acquisition was $1.9 million at Bondi Beach.
With a five year contract Tommy Hafey owned a house in Bronte in the mid-1980s; Rodney Eade was at Randwick.
Kevin Sheedy never owned, but rival AFL team coach, GWS's Leon Cameron sits high on the property ladder having spent $3.48 million in Hunters Hill. 
Longmire is from Corowa, the NSW-Victoria border town and his wife, Shelley is from nearby Mulwala.

The late Ainsley Gotto’s stylish Edgecliff apartment has sold for $1,587,000.
The former public servant who passed away in February is best remembered serving as prime minister John Gorton’s principal private secretary in the late 1960s.

A Narrabeen house marketed as the bolthole of the pop group ABBA when they toured Sydney in the 1970s was among the auction listings.
The house had been owned by a company of the late entertainment industry mogul Reg Grundy who brought the singing superstars to Australia in 1977.
The former Grundy staff home came with a price guide of $1.6 million through Julie Bundock, of Domain Residential Newport sold for $1.76 million.
The vendor John Sergeant recently told the local paper, The Manly Daily that he became aware of the link when he moved into <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-narrabeen-128665066" target="_blank">15 Nioka Road</a> (pictured above) and started catching taxis to work.
“All of the Manly cab drivers who picked me up reckon that, yes, this is definitely where ABBA stayed,” he said.
Reg Grundy sold in 1978 for $90,000 having paid $87,500 in 1974.
