Before you buy
Inner West Council's Local Environmental Plan 2022 lists the Haberfield Heritage Conservation Area (C54), nominated as an area of State significance, and a clause of the plan aims to keep dwellings in it looking single storey. Check the heritage map for whether the address is inside it before you plan works.
Inner West Council places Haberfield in the Dobroyd Canal catchment, and describes flooding across the council area as generally flash flooding.
NSW Department of Communities and Justice bond data for the June 2026 quarter puts the median weekly rent for a new unit tenancy in postcode 2045 at $720, from 30 or fewer bonds. Department of Communities and Justice data shows ten or fewer house bonds lodged, so there is no house median.
At the 2021 Census, 79.7% of Haberfield homes were separate houses, 12.3% were semi-detached or townhouses and 7.1% were flats or apartments.
