Family houses backing onto the national parks, in the heart of the Forest. We help you buy here with evidence, not guesswork.
About the suburb
Belrose at a glance
Belrose sits about 19 kilometres north-east of the city, in Northern Beaches Council, and is part of the Forest District, known locally as 'The Forest'. Its name is said to join two plants once common here, the Christmas bell and the bush rose.
It is mostly a suburb of family houses, with a smaller number of apartments, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Couples with children are the largest household group, and the most common age group is 10 to 19.
Belrose backs onto the bush. Garigal National Park and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park lie along its northern border, and parks and reserves cover about a quarter of the suburb. Glen Street Theatre and Belrose library are local landmarks, and the post office here opened in 1923.
Glenrose Village is the local shopping centre, with a large homemaker centre and the Belrose business park nearby. Schools include Belrose Public School, Wakehurst Public School, Covenant Christian School, Kamaroi Rudolf Steiner School and John Colet School. Lionel Watts Oval and Frenchs Forest Showground sit on the border with Frenchs Forest.
The trade-offs are worth saying plainly. Streets that back onto the national parks need a bushfire check before you commit. Some homes sit close to the business park and the busier roads, and noise and traffic change from street to street. For apartments, strata records, levies and defects come first.
How we work
How we help you buy in Belrose
In a suburb with both apartments and family houses, the work is knowing which part of it suits you, then judging every option on evidence. On average, a search with us looks like this.
Director-led, start to finish
We are an independent buyers agent on the Northern Beaches, based in Manly. You deal with Sarah and Mike directly. No juniors, no hand-offs. Over 75% of the homes we buy are secured off-market.
A fixed fee, agreed upfront
Our fee is set before we start and is not a percentage of the price, so we are never better off when you pay more.
We will tell you when to walk away
We are as proud of the houses we talk clients out of as the ones we buy. If a Belrose house or apartment does not stack up, you will hear it from us first.
