Reviews of Dee Why, NSW
"Upcoming and undervalued"
We moved to DY a year ago from the Eastern Beaches and it was the best choice we made.
Very relaxed, beautiful beach, not so many tourist and affordable property prices compared to the rest of ocean side Sydney.
As Dee Why is a vibrant and undervalued suburb, has a mix of coastal charm, urban convenience with all the shops and facilities.
Great investment, prices will go up in the next few years with the councils plans.

"I LOVE living in Dee Why"
❤️ I love that I don’t need to use my car on the weekend; there are 4 supermarkets, 3 kids playgrounds, beach, 2 parks, 3 bush walks, a bike track all within 5 minutes walk of the front door...oh and a bus stop across the road!
❤️ I love that I can hear the waves crashing as I lay in bed at night.
❤️ I love that I can walk home after dinner; there are about 30 restaurants about 100 meters away!

"Gem of Northern Beaches"
Dee why is beautiful, you will fall in love with the beach at first sight. It is an affordable gem of Northern Beaches while still having high property values and being in constant demand due to the beach lifestyle it offers. It is also only 30-50 mins from the heart of the CBD, yet it feels like a holiday getaway. Highly recommend to all that want affordable, close to city, safe, family friendly areas with a beach slice of paradise right at their dorstep!

"Affordable beach life"
I lived here in previous years and moved back a year & a half ago.
It has affordable beach location apartments which is predominantly popular with young families & professionals & everyone in between.
It’s a beautiful area on the beach side when you get to the front there are restaurants & bars, now the area has been redeveloped towards Pittwater Road side I can see that the area will continue to improve.
It’s only half hour on the express bus to the city before 7am and circa 45-50 min after this time.
The down sides are: too many apartments have recently just been built which is crowding this once quite area increasing the traffic along with bus queues.
The place is looking more modern, however, starting to look ugly like most high rise areas. It’s annoying how builders are allowed to build so high and so many concrete blocks - as if anyone who has the option would want to live in a giant complex with thousands of others 😡 #greedybuilders
Crime: certainly safer than for example the West as no shootings etc, but I did get my meal delivery stolen the other night 5 min after it was dropped off. Also a lot of theft of motorcycles including in secure apartment buildings & there are photos of female post thieves in most apartment post rooms.
Overall: nice area with higher theft rates but low other typical crimes.
Close to the beach, shops, restaurants, bars & gyms.
Good for families if you don’t mind apartment living and having thousands of others sometimes in the same complex.
More affordable than most northern beaches suburbs and on a fast bus lane.

"Very happy"
Very happy with my business being on location in the area. I find that it's rather quiet, and it's nice to be near the sea. There are just the right amount of shops nearby and I reckon that the residential options here are sufficient if you're a single or if you're a family or if you're a pensioner. You should be able to find something that suits your taste here and in your budget too.
So not true
"Biggest getto on the northern beaches"
The suburb is disgusting
Smells and so overpopulated
No parking anywhere
I guess it has a beach otherwise I would have rated it 0 stars
