Both suburbs attract steady demand for their combination of lifestyle, prestige, and practicality. Newport’s luxury waterfront homes and modern beachside residences sit alongside Mona Vale’s spacious family homes and boutique apartment developments, creating a diverse yet cohesive market.
Property Market Snapshot
“Newport and Mona Vale perfectly capture the Northern Beaches balance; coastal beauty with true connection. From morning swims across The Basin (Bongin Bongin) to lunch at The Newport overlooking Pittwater, every day feels alive with energy and possibility. These are suburbs where lifestyle truly meets location, and helping clients find their place here is always a joy.”
Posted on Georgia BarrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I purchased my first property with Danielle in 2024. The conversation started as more of an exploration on whether I should be looking into property in my early 20s, and if so, how to approach such a daunting experience! However within a couple of weeks, Danielle was able to open up my horizons in the property market by helping me look interstate across Australia, into more affordable markets. Danielle and I had regular catch ups where she would suggest properties, and help me understand what to look out for (good and bad!). She was patient, kind, and calm throughout the search and purchase process which was a saving grace. I cannot wait to buy another property with Danielle down the line.Posted on Joanna KerrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danielle was a consummate professional every step of the way. With so much knowledge to share. In what could have been a really tricky time Danielle was there to help. I would recommend her strongly.Posted on Georgia GraingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of working with Danielle during my first home-buying journey, and I honestly could not have asked for a better guide. Buying your first place can feel overwhelming, but Danielle knows the market inside out, and her advice was always thoughtful, strategic, and tailored to what I actually needed. If you’re looking for a buyers’ agent who truly cares, brings deep market knowledge, and supports you like a trusted partner, I’d highly recommend Danielle.Posted on Gabrielle GardnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Not only is Danielle a total ray of sunshine she is a powerhouse of an agent. We enlisted Danielle to help guide us in buying an investment property, she was incredibly professional and extremely patient with us! She is so dedicated, attentive and provides a full VIP experience. I would work with her again in an instant and can’t speak highly enough of her.Posted on Robyn BurnsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danielle is an amazing agent..ultimately a friend , who understands the demands and emotions in buying and selling. I definitely recommend Danielle..she will not let you down.Posted on Mika Utzon PopovTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danielle took time to make this an overall consideration about my family’s future best interest. From being a practical conversation about selling a house she made it a positive conversation about a new chapter in our lives. From economy to human value. Thank you Danielle.Posted on Kristin RollisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ll admit I didn’t think I needed a buyer’s agent. I wanted to inspect every house myself and I knew how to negotiate. But I was time poor and coerced by family to lean on industry experts to meet my goals. Danielle was everything and more; not only did she have an eye for possible pain points of a property, she had a lens for the potential they could bring too. At the end of the day, purchasing a home is emotional, no matter how much I tried to believe otherwise. And in my moments of weakness, Danielle was steadfast in negotiating a deal that was in my favour, ultimately saving me more than the cost of an engaging a buyer’s agent altogether. She made me feel at ease and was so well connected with the market and the resources I needed throughout the purchase process, I couldn’t be happier with the buying journey, and having Danielle by my side.Posted on Aaron StevensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Newport offers a relaxed, coastal village atmosphere with a strong sense of connection to the water. The surf beach, Pittwater marinas, boating clubs, and Rockpool all shape daily life here. The village has a boutique feel — cafés, wine bars, organic grocers, design stores, and a slower, more holiday-like rhythm. Newport feels intimate, stylish, and coastal-calm.
Mona Vale is more of a vibrant everyday hub. It has excellent schools, medical facilities, supermarkets, sporting fields, cafés, and transport connections. The beach is wide and open, with a rockpool and beautiful headland walks. Mona Vale is ideal for those who value convenience alongside coastal living, while still enjoying strong community and outdoors culture.
