Jenkins Street

"Wide, Leafy street super close to the Beach"

Neighbours are friendly, and many have small dogs. Not really a party street, often dead quiet. 2min walk across Pittwater Rd to the beach. Restaurants, Surf rock hotel and Collaroy RSL, shops and buses to City, Manly, North Sydney, Chatswood, and North along Pittwater Rd very frequent and only 2 mins walk. Convienience store around the corner open 365 days a year. Street is very leafy for a unit street, and wide as well. Even with cars parked on both sides of the road cars going opposite directions can pass each other. By far the best thing about Jenkins St compared to the other Collaroy unit streets is you can go down The Avenue, and turn right at the lights at Pittwater Road. Other streets without traffic lights are a nightmare to get out of when turning right in peak hour. The only bad thing is parking. When looking to buy, ensure your unit block has plenty of visitors spaces and ensure residents don't park regularly in these spots like they do in ours. Otherwise visitors always have the beach carpark if they don't mind walking across the street.

Collaroy

"Great Outdoor Lifestyle"

Parking is difficult in the unit streets, but better towards the plateau.Traffic is good aside from Pittwater Rd, which gets very busy especially on weekends. It is the main public transport route, with a bus to the city taking about 45 mins. There are no gyms at Collaroy, but there is always the beach and long reef for running, and the beach pool for swimming. Surfing is not so good in Collaroy as waves are often small, but only a 5 min walk along the beach to Narrabeen where the waves are better. Overall the locals are friendly, and streets are safe even if walking late at night. For the younger generation The Surf Rock hotel is very busy on Friday nights. It does get rowdy and drinks are pricey but good atmosphere and fitout classy. Although it does get rowdy there are very few serious incidents. For the older generation. The Collaroy Beach club does trivia, dancing, poker, and band nights playing 60's, 70's and 80's music, and is about to be refurbished. There are a few restaurants, Stella Pizzaria, Dragonfly, and Rupee Room being the best picks
