Clontarf Manly

Manly and Clontarf are neighbouring Northern Beaches areas with very different lifestyles. Manly is a dense, high-turnover hub where 51.4% of homes are rented and 76.8% are flats or apartments. It is a younger area, with a typical resident aged 38 and a high share of people living alone (31.5%). In contrast, Clontarf is a quiet residential area dominated by separate houses (94.3%) and owner-occupiers, with 54.6% owning their homes outright. Residents there are far older, with a typical age of 47, and most live in large family homes, as 92.7% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the unemployment rate, which is around 3.6% to 3.7%. They also share a similar profile in terms of school advantage and a very high proportion of residents living within a short walk of a park. However, the two areas have drifted apart in other ways. Manly has become far more walkable, rated as a walker's paradise, while Clontarf remains very walkable but more car-dependent. This is reflected in the gap in home ownership and mobility, with far more people in Manly choosing to live without a motor vehicle.
