About the suburb
Manly Vale at a glance
Manly Vale sits about 17 kilometres north-east of the city, in Northern Beaches Council. It is mainly residential, with shops and businesses along Condamine Street and small pockets of light industry. Manly Vale Post Office opened in 1950 and closed in 1994.
Apartments outnumber houses, and just over half of homes are lived in by their owners. Couples with children are the largest household group, and the most common age group is 30 to 39.
Manly Dam lies on the western edge of the suburb. On Manly Creek, volunteers in the 'Return of the Mermaids' project have been clearing rubbish and weeds from the Mermaid Pool, once a sandy beach with a waterfall, work that won a NSW Landcare award in 2011. King Street's native trees form an Avenue of Honour for merchant seamen of both World Wars.
Manly Vale Public School, St Kieran's Primary School and the Mackellar Girls Campus are all in the suburb, and David Thomas Reserve is home to Manly Vale FC. There are several retirement villages and aged care homes. The B-Line bus runs along Condamine Street to the city.
The trade-offs are worth saying plainly. Condamine Street is a busy road, so noise and traffic vary a lot from street to street. Some low-lying streets near Manly Creek need checking for flood risk. Apartment buildings vary widely in age and quality, so strata records, levies and defects come first, and for houses the street and the block matter more than any suburb-wide figure.
How we work
How we help you buy in Manly Vale
In a suburb of apartments, the work is choosing the right building as much as the right home, then judging it on evidence. On average, a search with us looks like this.
Director-led, start to finish
We are independent Northern Beaches buyers agents, 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 Manly Vale apartment or house does not stack up, you will hear it from us first.
