Would like to know what streets and areas to avoid renting/buying in Nambucca?

I was warned against buying in Nelson Street, due it being a thoroughfare between the pubs and clubs near the river and the housing commission places further up Nelson Street.

I stopped in to the local Police station to ask advice about this subject and they recommended Hyland Park as a very safe area. They were very friendly and exceptionally helpful, spending quite some time giving me advice about the various areas in Nambucca.

Mann Street is probably best avoided, being the main thoroughfare into town for both foot and automotive traffic and with some truly awful houses along the way.

Anywhere close to the Pacific Hwy, or on the west side of the Pacific Hwy, near the Cinema and Mall is problematic as well.

The area bordered by the Old Coast Road, Bent Street, Railway Road and the Hwy is not a good area.

Palmer Street near the water tower or down the other end near where it communicates with the street going back into town, is apparently also iffy.

John Avenue, Woodbell/Bellwood Ave seem to have a lot of Housing Commission style houses and a lot of 'junk' in front yards - dead cars, washing machines etc! That being said, so do some of the houses up the top of Seaview street, which is supposed to be a 'good' street.

I hope this helps.

We have lived on east side of town for 31 years - close to school & shops & beach. Lovely neighborhood.
Hyland Park & Kingsworth estate are lovely spots but further out of town & need to drive to town & beaches & school.
Houses on hills with sea views are getting very expensive.
Not so desirable areas - Mann Street (very busy main road), Newville Area & the back of the Plaza has a lot of housing commission homes
Nambucca is very hilly - finding something fairly level is a challenge

Try to avoid east side but not to bad . Hyland park is beautiful and there is no crime and pretty close to town and the houses forsale are nice. Hope this helps any more question just ask:)

Given I don't know much at all of the Nambucca area, I am trying to get some feed back on the area around Pacey St.

Hu, I'm looking at purchasing a new house in the Bellpark Estate area of Nambucca Heads, I'm from Sydney wondering if it would be an OK area to be away from the above mentioned streets, ta

Good morning Simon. How are you and the happier people today? I really like this post as it gives me a valuable piece of insight accurately. Good work. Now I used to frequent Iluka caravan park in the early 80s so would it be fair to say that Nambucca and Coffs are similar? Quite sort of sea/country town setting. As a kid we loved that time! I suppose you have the whole socio sphere there as with anywhere on the East Coast.
PS. We used to enjoy apple and meat pies fresh from the Woombah Bakery in 1980 by the owner then "PETER".I will ring there now. I am looking for a 2 bedroom house in these areas to rent.Fish and crab pls.

Hi all,
Just wanting to ask what
Rosedale st nambucca heads is like
As we are moving to that street very soon?

Marshall Avenue, and anywhere near the plaza. There's quite a few dropkicks round there

Like most towns there are pockets or areas in which people try to avoid for many varied reasons (Ex Housing Commission Areas, lower socio-economic pockets rank highly) however i have to disagree with Mittons comments regarding the "East" side of town being one of those areas to avoid. The majority of dwellings on the east side of town are owner occupiers with many years of residency under their belt. This translates to better than average condition of property and therefor better value for both the rental and sale markets. Crime is a regional problem rather than a township problem and it is a little misleading to suggest there is "no crime" in Hyland Park, as Hyland Park is a small satellite community of Nambucca Heads comprising of approximately 50-80 residential dwellings.
