For those wondering where to find Australia's most concentrated bachelor populations, Lakemba in Sydney's Inner South West stands out dramatically with 252 single men for every 100 single women. Sydney's dominance in the bachelor scene is clear, with its Inner South West and Inner West regions claiming half of Australia's top 10 male-majority suburbs.
Melbourne's South East has also emerged as a notable bachelor paradise, creating another hub for single men with four spots. The property landscape in these bachelor-dense areas shows remarkable diversity, ranging from the more accessible Melbourne suburb of Doveton at $613,717 to the upscale Strathfield-East in Sydney commanding $3 million.
On the flip side, Sydney's Eastern Suburbs have earned their reputation as Australia's answer to Sex and the City, with an impressive concentration of single women. Seven of the nation's top ten female-majority suburbs are found in Sydney, with five nestled in the prestigious Eastern Suburbs and two in North Sydney. These areas typically come with a luxury price tag, with most suburbs in the $3-4 million range.
While Sydney dominates this list, Melbourne adds its own flavor with two inner-city contributions: Elwood and Port Melbourne. For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, Brisbane's Yarrabilba stands out as an accessible alternative at $703,643, offering a unique opportunity in an otherwise premium-priced landscape.
