Clareville Suburb Profile

Secluded bays and a strong community vibe are what makes Clareville one of the Northern Beaches’ most sought-after neighbourhoods. Situated on the water, overlooking moored yachts and Scotland Island in the beautiful setting of Pittwater, Clareville boasts all the luxuries of coastal living. With Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and the expanses of Pittwater at their doorstep, families who are lucky enough to find their home along one of Clareville’s winding streets tend to stay put, making this a much sought-after neighbourhood. 

Living in Clareville means enjoying the perfect balance of tranquil coastal living and easy access to nearby amenities. Savouring the water views from their waterside and hillside homes, Clareville locals love being close to the calm waters of the bay, and just a 5-minute drive away from surfing hotspot, Avalon Beach. Nearby Avalon village is the closest shopping hub, boasting a great local dining and coffee scene. 

The serenity of the suburb’s natural beauty seems worlds away from the bustle of Avalon’s town centre, just down the road – Taylors Point Baths remain a local secret, whilst Clareville Beach Reserve is an idyllic seaside destination all year round. The shaded grassy area and shallow waters make Clareville Beach Reserve a popular picnic, swimming and fishing spot for families. 

Nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts find themselves at home in Clareville. Be it paddleboarding, kayaking or sailing across Pittwater, or exploring the lush Angophora Reserve, that borders Bilgola Plateau and Avalon. In the warmer months, you will see keen swimmers take to the water in droves. Come December, you will see the swimmers start training their beloved dogs for the annual Scotland Island Dog Swim. 

Living in Clareville offers a community-centric lifestyle, which consists largely of families with children, providing the best of both worlds; seclusion from the hustle and bustle, yet still a moment away from everything you need like shops, schools and transport links.
