Research shows these best family-friendly suburbs in Sydney’s Lower North Shore
If you’re looking for an area providing the ultimate in family lifestyle living, then a number of reports in Sydney highlight the Lower North Shore as the place you need to be.
You would be hard-pressed to find any suburb in the Lower North Shore where you wouldn’t love to settle down.
Green parklands, water views, shopping, dining, and access to education, transport, and employment are all critical features of top Sydney suburbs to live in. These all add up to fantastic choices for families looking for a safe and quiet location to raise their children.
We review three suburbs that are worth exploring and explain the reasons why.
1. Hunters Hill
If education is a top priority, then Hunters Hill should show prominently on your radar. However, the area does only reach average scores for other liveability metrics such as culture, transport, crime rate, and traffic congestion.
2. Mosman
Mosman is well regarded for its ferries and buses access, but traffic congestion is at times a problem. However, culture, beach access and mobile coverage are hard to beat, and the choices for dining out aren’t too shabby either.
3. Lane Cove
Lane Cove has you covered for everything which makes a location highly desirable. The suburb gets top marks for city access, employment, eating out, green areas and parks.
However, main road congestion is unfortunate. Plus, you may be a little further from the beach then you might like.
Getting ready to buy a property in Sydney’s Lower North Shore Sydney all starts with having finance
We spoke to North Shore Top 3 Local Choice mortgage broker, Nicole Cannon from Pink Finance about her experience on how to get ready to secure finance for a home purchase in the North Shore.
As an experienced financial expert with considerable local area experience, Nicole says that you should have your finance approved for the highest price you are willing to purchase.
According to Nicole, “when you know your ceiling, you have more room to negotiate from a position of confidence”.
Speed is also critical in a hot property suburbs. If you have a loan pre-approval, then you’ll only have the valuation to obtain. This could save days or weeks off the process, again allowing you to be first in line to make an offer for getting the property under contract.
Nicole has the following advice for people who don’t want to put down any money upfront.
“You can exchange with a deposit bond. Like a pre-approval, this can be subject to a property, so it is a very quick and easy tool to have. You can literally have a deposit in your hands within 2 to 3 hours after the exchange.”
If you are looking to get into the North Shore property market and start the next chapter of your life, then Nicole is perfect local connection to make.
