Hurstville Real Estate Specialist | Michael Kalinovski

St George's Major Hub | High-Growth Unit & House Market

Hurstville (2220) is the beating heart of the St George region – a major transport, retail and dining hub with one of Sydney's most active unit markets and a tightly held house sector. Just 16km south of the Sydney CBD, it combines high-rise living around the centre with established family streets and parks tucked away from the buzz.

As a Hurstville real estate specialist with over 25 years of local experience, Michael Kalinovski helps owners and investors understand what's really driving prices here – using CoreLogic suburb statistics to March 2026 and decades of on-the-ground insight.
