As the 147th Wimbledon Championships capture international sporting attention, the 141-year-old super brand Raine & Horne is celebrating this famous sporting fortnight with properties that feature stunning tennis courts fit for stars like Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff, and Daria Saville, who is proudly waving the flag for Australian women on the iconic grass courts of SW19.

Since the days of legends Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall, tennis has played a significant role in our cultural and sporting history in cities and regional areas. Major events such as Wimbledon and our own grand slam tournament, the Australian Open, highlight this interest every year.

However, despite an increase in tennis clubs with multiple courts, the number of private tennis courts at homes has declined due to rising land values, more high-density living, and subdivisions. Consequently, houses with tennis courts are now more prized and highly valued than ever.

Research from Domain last year[i] found that the proportion of sales in Sydney of houses with tennis courts is now just 0.53%, down from 0.8% in 2020. Yet, the search ranking for the term “tennis court” has risen from 32nd most popular in 2019 to 22nd in 2022. Moreover, in some prestige suburbs, having a tennis court may add hundreds of thousands to the property’s value. 

Whether you’re a Centre Court aficionado or struggle to tell a topspin forehand from a flat forehand, we’ve selected a few of our favourite homes with tennis courts that will serve up an ace this Wimbledon fortnight.
