PK Property Buyer's Agents are your number one Northern Beaches Buyers Agents, and have been purchasing on the Northern Beaches of Sydney for over 20 years now. Everything from high-end luxury homes, incredible apartments with beach views, solid family homes around the basin of Freshwater, right up to Palm Beach.
Why is the Northern Beaches such an attractive place to live? People fall in love with the Aussie beach lifestyle. It is a very relaxed lifestyle on the Northern Beaches and can be compared to the Gold Coast in Queensland. This area has become increasingly popular over the last 10 years as it still offers a lot of value for money. The Northern Beaches property market varies so much as well - you could purchase a property in up Palm Beach for around $15M or find a great family home down in Manly Vale for $1.8M.
There are also some great single sex and co- ed schools situated all the way up and down the Northern Beaches, some being recognised for being amongst the best schools in NSW. As a Northern Beaches Buyer's Agency, PK Property has been purchasing in all these price ranges and suburbs for many years now.
Some of the most memorable purchases that PK Property have made would be: 3 Pavillion Street, Queenscliff for over $11m and purchasing in the famous Bower Street (number 44) in Manly for $14M, in which the Catholic Church owns up to 60 properties in this area and leaseholds backs to property buyers.
People also love the Northern Beaches as it is a lot more relaxed than other areas of Sydney but you are only 30 minutes away from the CBD in some suburbs. People are drawn to the lifestyle for the sporting activities and a very large following in the Surf Lifesaving network. The Lifesavers do a fantastic job looking after everyone swimming through the summer period, where the beaches swell is in excess of four or five times more than it normally would be around the winter period. That said, surfing would have to be one of the main sports on the Northern Beaches and there has been many professional surfers grow up in this area to become world champions. For example, Tom Carroll, Barton Lynch, Nat Young, Damian Hardman and many more.
In the current market, you can purchase a good, entry level two bedroom apartment for $1.2M in Manly which is a particularly attractive area as it offers great ferry access to the city from the Wharf. Many residents around the Manly or Fairlight area will choose to catch a ferry to work rather than sit in heavy traffic and travel over the notorious Spit Bridge.
The Northern Beaches has also experienced growth in infrastructure, offering more to residents and increasing property's values. In Ocotber 2018, there has been a closure of Mona Vale Hospital and an opening of brand new, incredibly modern hospital in Frenchs Forest. This new addition to the Beaches will offer all medical services to the community and be on the world scale. The new B-Line buses have also made the commute to the CBD a lot easier for residents.
The Northern Beaches is also a popular place for tourists with new restaurants popping up monthly combined with the relaxed beach lifestyle that they come to Australia for.
Demographically, the Northern Beaches are seeing families from areas such as Mosman or the Upper North Shore purchase a holiday house for weekends or Christmas holidays. Also empty nesters are downsizing to the Northern Beaches for a sea change after the kids have been through school on the Lower/Upper North Shore. These downsizers no longer have a need for a larger, high maintenance property and value a relaxed lifestlye with water views, short walks to great cafes and restaurants, spending time at the beach and going for long walks.
