Manly Vale

Manly Vale is to the north of Balgowlah situated on either side of Condamine Street. From the heights of Balgowlah the road dips down and then rises again as you head up to Manly North and Brookvale. It is from this valley or "vale" that the suburb takes its name.

The suburb grew up with many pre World War 2 homes. In the old days it had dairies, tennis courts and dirt roads. Just over 20 years ago the area began to have rapid business growth particulary with the addition of the Burnt Bridge Creek freeway taking traffic north from Spit Bridge.

Today it is an area with many large warehouse or superstores that can be great for making larger purchases. Yet if you step back a little from the main road you will still discover many of the interesting well kept homes.

The architectural styles cover weatherboard cottages, to federation and through to Art Deco.

The area also has two golf corses adjoining Manly lagoon.
