It lies 3.3 km north-north-west of Sydney, NSW (from Sydney, NSW: bearing 339°T), and is situated 12.5 km north-north-west of Maroubra.

A gentle breeze, often carrying the scent of salt from the nearby waterways, rustles through the gum leaves, a constant reminder of the coastal setting. The streets themselves possess a quiet charm, a sense of established neighbourhoods where children’s laughter might drift from a sun-drenched park, and the rhythm of daily life unfolds with an unhurried, neighbourly feel.
The history of Waverton is deeply intertwined with the development of Sydney Harbour, initially a place of maritime activity and industrial works that have since given way to residential living. Its strategic position made it a desirable location for early settlers, and remnants of its past can still be glimpsed in the architecture and the very layout of the streets. The local economy, once driven by industries that served the harbour, now largely comprises professional services and retail, with residents commuting to the central business district. A distinctive feature of Waverton is its proximity to the harbour foreshore, offering residents and visitors access to walking paths and picnic spots that provide stunning vistas of the iconic Sydney skyline, a constant, shimmering backdrop to everyday life.
