Sandwiched between Balgowlah and Manly, Fairlight is a quiet surburb only a short walking distance from Manly. The downhill walk to the beach is easy. Congratulations if you make it back up the hill without puffing. Only slightly cheaper than Manly, Fairlight is popular with the young, couples, professionals, families and older residents. (More information below...)
If this suburb were a shoe, it would be a strappy sandal
Fairlight has plenty of older period homes and apartment blocks, some offering great views.
It also has a very small village shopping centre with a fire station. You know what that means… nice fire trucks!
Parking is not really an issue. The vibe: relaxed, calm, and great views. Shoe equivalent: strappy sandals with a small heel, thongs. Would suit: ages 20+, beach fans, young families, people who like being close to the centre of things, but not in it. Location: near beach. Postcode: 2094. Distance: 11km from the city centre. Direction: North East.
