RealLife

Umina Beach is a great place to live with great waterways to explore. We live in a nice street with friendly people. Umina's property prices have risen in the last few years mainly because there is a demand to move into the area, rents are high for decent housing again due to the demand of people wishing to live in the area,so if you're a investor there are good returns on rentals.We have seen a drop in trouble makers in the area maybe because they can't afford to live in the area anymore & have moved. Lots of new development a new Woolworth's store which has given West St a lift, Bilo has been extended & is now a Coles, Aldi has started work on it's new store to be completed 2012, McDonald's is to be built on Ocean Beach Rd next to Woollies petrol station.There is a new mall to be built corner of Ocean beach Rd & Lone Pine this well give this corner a much needed lift.
3 million dollars has been spent on a new park development for families near the beach & is packed every weekend. Lots of activities for kids to keep them busy Nippers is on every Sunday in Summer & is great for children to learn to read the surf & save lives while doing fun activites. The local swim center is the best outside of Sydney so we're very lucky to have such a great facility & we use this pool every second day to keep fit & joined the local swim club on every Friday night. In winter there are a wide range of sports for children to play & keep fit so there is no reason for them to roam the streets. All in All a great place to live & soo close to Sydney.

The waterways that surround Umina make it the best place to live on the Central Coast. Umina has a great beach & if you're luck enough to own a boat then the places to explore are never ending. you can explore the Brisbane waterways, Ettalong, Pretty Beach, Pearl Beach, Hawkesbury River, over to Palm Beach, Pittwater Broken Bay & Patonga. Restaurants in the area cater for food lovers with every type of cusine catered for. We moved to the area 2 yrs ago & will never leave.
