Seechange's view was that one should buy on the beach-side of Pittwater road, as it's closer to the beach , caf?s, restaurants. If you buy on the other side of Pittwater, you need to cross 6 lanes of traffic to get to the shops and lifestyle attractions, so it's less convenient for tenants...

Yes I bought on the beach side. Ever since reading See-Changes comments a few months ago, I focused only on that side of Pittwater Road! Thanks for you thoughts on the aspect - you're right, it's not really that bad. The place was pretty well naturally-lit during inspection. And perhaps...

Hey Beachside, What your RE contacts told you about a lot of people wanting to live here is reassuring; and the demand should increase even more once the "Bus Rapid Transport" system rolls out. Meanwhile, yeah it's surprising how the listings have suddenly gone dead. There's practically...

Hi all, just a quick update - I've bought a 525K 1BR IP in Dee Why. The unit is on the 2nd floor of a 3-storey building - a boutique block of 12 built in 1969, that's been very well maintained. The location is good - very close to Coles, express bus-stop to city, and 10 minutes walk to beach...

Thanks mate - I haven;t even looked on that side of Pittwater Road, as I figured the best investments would be on the beach side. But with prices being what they are - and the advantages you mentioned - it might be worth looking into. Otherwise, I might have to focus on 1BR's on the beach side.

thanks cliff. I wasn't even considering the upper Northern Beaches at first (as I thought they were too far from CBD - even getting to CBD from Curl Curl is a pain), but after reading your old posts, and hearing about the Warriewood Mall development and transport upgrades, I'm seriously...

I was reluctant to consider Collaroy and Monavale at first, as I work in the city and from where I live (Curl Curl) it's nearly a 3 hour round -trip. But you're right, there are other things to consider - like lifestyle. And it's great to hear about Warriewood Mall being expanded. I'll keep my...

Thanks for this info, Logica. I was aware of the "Bus Rapid Transport" scheme but didn't realise that Baird has already committed $633M to the project (I wasn't sure if it would actually go ahead or not - looks like it's going to). Appreciate your comments about 1-bedder units, too. I'll...

Hi all, For the past few months I've been trying to buy an IP on the Northern Beaches (110K+ deposit, 400K+ pre-loan approval). I've been picky, so in 3 months of searching, I've only found three desirable IPs. But on each occasion I've been out-offered by another buyer (I was willing to pay...
