In the cushy and highly exclusive Sydney suburb of Vaucluse, a home will set you back roughly $9 million – chump change, right?
Eh, for the mere mortals among us that yearn to wake up with salty air on the tip of their nose, buying coastal property in the city is unattainable to say the least.
However, in new data released by Domain, owning a home by the seaside might be in reach – as long as you’re willing to head regional.
When crunching the numbers, property experts have been able to compile a list of the most attractive coastal suburbs that all come in below the $1.5 million mark.
If you’re budget is roughly $1.5 million (and you’ve been priced out of Sydney’s $1.75 million median house price – welp) and by the sea is the place for you, check out the top ten regional coastal suburbs across NSW:
- Fairy Meadow - ~$1,167,500
- Corlette - ~$1,185,000
- Vincentia - ~$1,195,000
- Mollymook - ~$1,220,000
- Woonona - ~$1,222,500
- Ocean Shores - ~$1,270,000
- Tweed Heads - ~$1,300,000
- Stockton - ~$1,325,000
- Kiama - ~$1,355,000
- Pottsville - ~$1,365,000
There are some absolute pearlers in there, including the ever-popular holiday destination for Sydneysiders: Mollymook, which offers all the charm of a coastal town with all the convenience of only being a three-hour drive south from the city.
If you fancy joining the growing Gold Coast sect, Tweed Heads straddles the Queensland border and is a growing hub of cafés, restaurants and gorgeous beaches.
You can nab a home in the beautiful Kiama for around $1.3 million, and property in Pottsville – a gem of the Northern Rivers – will set you back roughly $1.4 million.
For any prospective buyers keen to make a change – this is food for thought indeed.
