Manly Road in Manly West tells a compelling story of transformation and community stability. Historical records from 1936 show a sparsely populated streetscape that bears little resemblance to today’s established residential corridor.
With 85% of properties being owner-occupied and residents staying an average of 9 years and 8 months, the street demonstrates strong neighborhood attachment. This commitment to community is further evidenced by the fact that 31% of residents have called Manly Road home for over a decade. The area’s evolution is reflected in its property values – a notable example being 106 Manly Road, which sold for $20,000 in June 1974, a figure that provides fascinating context when compared to current market values. Below, an aerial photograph from 1936 captures the street’s humble beginnings, offering a striking contrast to the 425 properties that now line this sought-after thoroughfare.
