What is the difference between living on Bilgola Beach and Bilgola Plateau? a good place to live year-round?
Bilgola Beach offers a true “hidden beach” experience — a curved stretch of golden sand framed by headlands, with a tranquil, almost private feel. Homes near the beach often enjoy the sound of waves, sunrise light, and walking access to the surf or the rockpool. Life here feels intimate, natural, and close to the ocean.
Bilgola Plateau sits directly above, offering elevated ridge-line living with expansive views — either towards the ocean or west across Pittwater. The Plateau is peaceful and community-focused, with quiet streets, family homes, and easy access to nearby schools and Avalon village. It provides more everyday convenience, while still being minutes from the beach.
Does Bilgola Plateau offer better accessibility and sun aspect?
Yes, generally. At beach level, the escarpment and surrounding cliffs can create shadowing at certain times of year, and access is via steep winding roads. The Plateau, by contrast, enjoys generous sunlight, broad views, and easier vehicle access. It’s also close to essential services, making daily life effortless.
For buyers, the choice often comes down to lifestyle priority:
- Beach level: intimate, sensory, “salt and sand” living
- Plateau: light, views, convenience, and suburban ease
Are there off-market opportunities in Bilgola Beach and Bilgola Plateau?
Yes — particularly in Bilgola Beach, where the homes are tightly held, and offer standout views or architectural character. Many sales occur quietly between locals or are offered to a short list of qualified buyers before public release. Long-standing relationships with local agents and owners are key to accessing these.The plateau offers more affordable opportunities, but with that much more competition for a family friendly home.
Being ready, pre-qualified, and known in the market opens doors here.
What type of properties are most common?
- Architect-designed view homes that embrace glass, timber, and coastal simplicity
- Mid-century homes with character and renovation potential (especially on the Plateau)
- Contemporary, light-filled family homes on quiet streets with leafy outlooks
