Allambie/Allambie Heights is arguably one of Sydney's most liveable suburbs.
The real estate is significantly more affordable than nearby suburbs such as Balgowlah Heights and Seaforth and you get a lot more 'bang for your buck' when buying in this area.
You are 5 or 10 minutes drive from several beaches (e.g. Manly/North Steyne/Queenscliff; Freshwater; and Curl Curl). The delightful Manly Dam and surrounding recreational reserve is very close.
The suburb is elevated, well established and blessed with numerous parks, reserves and an abundance of trees. The homes in the area are generally on large blocks of land (over 650 sq metres) and many of them have beautiful district and/or ocean views.
Public transport to the city (and North Sydney and Chatswood) is very good, with a more than adequate supply of buses all hours of the day and well into the night. The Manly ferry is also not far away.
The local shopping strip is excellent with an IGA, Bakers Delight, newsagent, butcher, pharmacy, gift shop and several nice cafes and restaurants. Warringah Mall is also just down the road.
It is a lovely, quiet location and a great suburb for young families.
