Seaforth Suburb Profile – February 2026
1. Seaforth - Space and Harbour Views
Seaforth remains one of the Northern Beaches’ most underrated harbour-side suburbs. Median house prices sit in the low-to-mid $4 million range, offering relative value for water views and larger land parcels compared to Mosman or Fairlight.
The Spit Bridge has historically driven discomfort for some buyers, and with the cancellation of the Northern Beaches tunnel there is no respite in the foreseeable future. But locals don’t mind.
Price growth has been steady rather than explosive, driven by families prioritising space, outlook and long-term liveability.
2. Why buyers choose Seaforth
Seaforth offers wide streets, generous blocks, and a peaceful environment with quick access to both the city and beaches. The harbour foreshore walks and proximity to Manly Dam add to its appeal.
Local insider insight:
Locals know that homes near Clontarf Reserve but outside flood-prone zones are the sweet spot — offering lifestyle access without the insurance and planning complexities closer to the waterline.
3. Who Are the Buyers?
Families upsizing from Fairlight or Balgowlah, professionals seeking value relative to Mosman, and long-term owner-occupiers dominate demand.
