Blackwall sits quietly on the Woy Woy Peninsula, tucked between Ettalong Beach, Booker Bay and Woy Woy. It is a tree-lined pocket with a close connection to the water, and it gives homebuyers two neighbouring residential streets to weigh up: Warrigal Street and Warwick Street. Both streets share the same suburb amenities, school catchments and transport access. What separates them comes down to block sizes, housing mix, sales history and where each street sits between Woy Woy and the Ettalong foreshore.
Street Character and Housing Mix
Both streets began as part of the area’s Blackwall Estate subdivision.
Warrigal Street does not have a full published Domain street report, so its character is best read from building records and lot sizes. Those records show a street of generous original allotments, commonly 772 to 974 m², sitting alongside newer townhouse and villa product from the 2020s. 13 Warrigal Street is recorded as a 974 m² R1-zoned block, and the building profile for 13 Warrigal Street lists six properties, five townhouses and one house, with an owner-occupier share near 65% and the rest rented. A townhouse at 3/13 Warrigal Street was completed in 2022, which captures the newer low-maintenance end of the street.
Warwick Street is the better documented of the two. Domain’s street report counts 95 properties: 56 houses, 29 townhouses and 9 other dwellings. Domain describes the street as established and leafy, with mature trees and gardens, an owner-occupier share near 80% and average owner tenure of about 12 years 2 months. Lot sizes are more compact and varied, commonly 467 to 973 m², and 30 Warwick Street is a 588 m² north-facing R1-zoned corner block. Where Warrigal Street leans to larger land plus newer strata, Warwick Street offers a broader mix of freestanding homes, townhouses and villa units.
