Tasman Road, Avalon, NSW 2107

Tasman Road, North Avalon, is one of the prime roads in the area to live in, particularly if you have teenage kids attending Barrenjoey High School which is also situated here.

The street runs from North Avalon Road to the south where it ends practically right on the sand of North Avalon Beach. It’s a level, well-treed street (one side has numerous towering pines), with large – to very large blocks.

Many of the houses have been beautifully renovated, but there are quite a lot of original weatherboard cottages (made smaller looking by the large land they sit on). Because of the level blocks and the location – properties on the street are highly prized and go for fairly high prices.

As well as Barrenjoey High School, there is a Montessori Preschool also close to the beach. North Avalon Road itself, within easy walking distance, provides a good café, a surf shop, takeaway, convenience store and a bottle shop. Buses on Barrenjoey are also not far to walk too.

North Avalon Beach (which has a toilet block) is popular with surfers and is easier to park at than Avalon and some of the other beaches in the height of summer. It’s un-patrolled but is also lovely to swim at (watch out for the boards though).
