Central Road, Avalon, NSW 2107

Central Road is a fairly lengthy street running from Avalon Parade (where it becomes Hudson Parade) to Barrenjoey Rd. The street is very green with many trees, and is relatively level. There are many facilities within walking distance, including in the street itself. There are speed humps in the road – to slow down the occasional through-traffic.

The properties are generally on large blocks and consist of a mix of older cottage style homes, updated beach houses and a few big new homes.

The eastern end of the street gives easy access to both Avalon beach reserve, and the city buses of Barrenjoey Rd. Also at this end is a church, Maria Regina Primary School, and just around the corner on Park Street is St Marks Preschool.

A little laneway gives direct access into Dunbar Park, where there is a playground, and it is an easy stroll across the park into Avalon proper – the Woolworths, library and community centre, and numerous shops and restaurants.

At the western end of Central Road, just wear it joins to Hudson, there is another (more secluded) reserve with children’s playground. From this point it is an easy stroll to the Hilltop Rd shops, but a bit of a trek into Avalon itself.

It’s a great area for families with kids.
