Bangalow Avenue, Mona Vale, NSW 2103

Bangalow Ave appears to be just a level, fairly ordinary suburban street, with neat and tidy houses, and neat and tidy gardens. Well, it is that, but then it is also a whole lot more.

The road begins as a sharp right angle to Bassett Street – which is a busy thoroughfare occupied by many industrial properties. Bangalow Ave then, offers a serene counterpoint. For the majority of the street, one side of the frontage is made up of Bangalow Reserve. This is a large parkland with picnic tables, drinking fountains and an extensive, well equipped children’s playground and this area can keep kids, both young and teenaged, occupied for hours.

Bangalow Ave is also in very easy walking distance to Winnererremy Bay, which is home to another playground, a large bike-path, waterfront reserve, and the Flying Fox café. Two minutes walk brings you to Pittwater High – a public highschool with a good local reputation.

Up the eastern end of Bassett Street are a very useful Mitre Ten, a music store, and a car service centre. In between are a myriad of industrial areas and commercial warehouses.

Bangalow Ave is not great for public transport, but the walk up Bassett street to the Pittwater Road buses, could be made in ten minutes or so.
