Riverview Road, Avalon, NSW 2107

Riverview Road is often classed as Clareville and equally as often, as Avalon. Take your pick.

It’s a fairly lengthy road running from Hudson Parade/Avalon Parade – through to the end of the Careel Bay Peninsula. It’s a wide street with plentiful trees and has the rainforest feel typical of the area. It is somewhat more of a busy through-route though, than other streets nearby.

As the road is so lengthy – there is a huge mixture of housing types – and they range from small original cottages on seemingly huge blocks – to huge newly built properties with water views, but little outside space. There are also several private ‘cul-de-sacs’ leading off Riverview – that have a Riverview address – but are essentially their own little enclaves. Great for small children!

The street is generally quiet, but has some traffic noise. The southern end has terrific access down Paradise Ave (and even private paths on the west side) on to Paradise Beach – a wonderful swimming spot at high tide.

The Hilltop Shops on Hilltop Road – leading directly opposite Riverview are also easily accessible to the south end of the road. Peak time city buses are also available here. There is also a great playground around the corner on The Appian Way.
