"Great Place to Live"
I didn't realise how central Allambie was until I moved here.
We originally bought our house as an investment until the GFC would see us move from our Mosman lifestyle to our investment home in Allambie Heights.
After the initial shock...I love living here. I travel a lot with work. It only takes me 35-40 min to the airport and the same in the traffic home. I am in the city in 30 min by bus from our front door with the option of using the Private or Public buses; 35 min to North Ryde in the car; 5 min down the road to South Curl Curl beach for coffee, dog walks or sun baking/swimming; or, Manly for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks or retail therapy.
Properties up here are half the price of those in the lower nth shore. Find the right one and not only will you get uninterrupted views of ocean but 1/3+ more land than if you bought lower nth shore for the same price.
The local IGA has been renovated, there are coffee shops, butcher, florist, green grocer, restaurants. The Manly Dam reserve is across the road; suitable for bike rides, walks and walking the dogs, picnicking, waterskiing, swimming etc.
My only complaint is Warringah council. Otherwise I highly recommend this area.

Well Giffo have you tried Forest Coaches at 6am? Try it out they are quick last stop is just before Roseville Bridge and first stop from the city is just after Roseville Bridge. Mind you you will need to catch it from Frenchs Forest shops. Otherwise you are right may comment should have read 40 min (typo) at 6 am in the morning from my front door. Good luck!
Yes please, +1 for the cons about the council?
30 minutes to the city, at what time, 5am
