Let me preface this by saying I lived in Sydney for over 20 years, Castle Hill, Newtown, Erskinville etc.

So, Hamlyn Terrace NSW 2259.

Yes I would highly recommend, it’s quiet, it’s very convenient, it’s 13 minutes Tuggerah Westfield, 17 minutes to Lakes Beach and pretty much every other best beaches on the Coast, it’s 23 minutes to Erina Fair Shopping Centre, 8 minutes to Lakehaven shopping centre, 3 minutes to Woolworths and coles as well and there’s literally two of the best schools on the coast here both private and public just a 5 minute walk down the street.

Warnervale train station is a 15 minute walk and the freeway to Syd and Newcastle is 8 minutes away plus both private and public hospitals is just a 6 minute drive and GP’s within walking distance.

It’s Great area for Family, singles and young couples as well as retirees and just a really convenient location, it does everything Sydney does but it’s better because you can live like a king or queen in a actual house as apposed to counting your pennys living in a shoe box apartment in Sydney for a million dollars.

Now for the bad news, if you’re looking to buy on the coast (especially Hamlyn Terrace) good luck 99% of the newer land releases have sold out and theirs certain streets in Hamlyn Terrace that are very rare for owners to give up their homes for sale as they are the more “exclusive” streets in the area (for the central coast anyway). Also every one in Sydney especially first home buyers are moving up here so demand is really, really high but there’s just not enough houses or land releases to meet the demand so a funny thing is now happening prices are going up and the ones that are “reasonably” priced last a week or two at the most. Most Auctions in the past few months don’t even make it to Auction as they’re sold days before Which I’m certain is Covid-19 driven now people realise they no longer need to go into an office anymore and can work from home heaps and I do me A Lot of people from Sydney are moving up here so if you can get a place you love do it soon.

Overall very happy I moved from Sydney to Hamlyn Terrace, took months of searching and researching and this is the area we settled on based on all the points mentioned above and have very happily lived here for over 7 years now.
