Enjoying the Manly Life

February 24, 2022

Looking for houses for sale in Manly? You're in luck! Manly is a beautiful suburb located on Sydney's Northern Beaches, and renowned for its relaxed lifestyle and amazing amenities. If you're looking for a property that offers the best of both worlds – city living and beachside relaxation – then Manly is the perfect place for you. 

Manly is reachable to the CBD by ferry and bus. Have you ever enjoyed riding on the harbour and being greeted by the Sydney Opera House on your way to work? Once you have, you won't want to commute any other way.

With many different options for any type of living style, you will be able to find buildings of heritage style terraces, large family homes, and smaller cozy abodes. This means that there are plenty of options for any buyer to enjoy. 

If you're thinking of making the move to Manly, be sure to keep an eye on the real estate market and the available listings on the Clarke & Humel website. 

Let us share some reasons why you could get used to the Northern Beaches lifestyle.

Beaches

Manly has some of Sydney's best-known beaches, whether you want to get your tan on, have a swim, take the kids out, or just bring a book and relax, there's something for everyone here - enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. 

We recommend checking out Shelly Beach, adjacent to North Head and Fairy Bower. This beach is patrolled by lifeguards, keeping your family safe while enjoying the water. It’s also fantastic for snorkeling, as the water is shallow and clear enough to see a variety of sea life. 

Manly beach itself is a great spot for swimming, surfing, and sunbathing. The waves are usually gentle, making it perfect for beginner surfers. 

Just across the peninsula of Manly Beach is Little Manly - known as "the secret beach" – it's smaller than the other beaches in the area, but just as beautiful, perfect to bring the kids to, with no surf and a shark-proof enclosure.

Manly Amenities

There are also many restaurants and cafes to choose from, as well as pubs and clubs. If you're after something more active, there's also a variety of things to do including kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and bike riding. 

The Manly Surf School offers surf lessons for beginners. If you prefer relaxing at home with friends and family you can enjoy all sorts of take away. 

Some free activities include visiting the Manly Art Gallery, the Manly Fresh Produce Market, or the famous Manly to Spit Bridge walk. It's hard not to find something that doesn't appeal to living in Manly.

Manly Real Estate

If you're looking to buy houses in Manly, there are plenty of options, from those close to the beach and stunning views of Sydney Harbour to adjoining suburbs such as Fairlight and Balgowlah Heights. For those who want an easy commute into town each day, houses near Manly Wharf are ideal as they provide easy access via ferry or bus.

It's easy to see that houses and apartments in this area are highly sought after – so if you're thinking of selling your home, be prepared to receive multiple offers! If you're looking for a luxurious lifestyle by the beach, then Manly is definitely the place to be. Properties here come with plenty of added extras such as swimming pools, gyms, and harbour views.
