What sells here
Everything from a character villa sitting proudly on a huge quarter-acre section where families and kids can still play cricket on the back lawn, to townhouses from the 1970s to modern masterpieces sitting on the water's edge.
Who is buying
Bayswater attracts a mix of families, boat owners and city commuters. Families are drawn to the coastal setting, strong local schools, sense of safety and the relaxed community feel. Boat owners value the marina and immediate connection to the harbour, while commuters appreciate the convenience of the ferry and easy access to the city.
Selling a Bayswater home
In Bayswater, value can come from the home itself, the land beneath it, or often a combination of both. Presentation matters, particularly when a property has a strong aspect to showcase. On the southern side, some homes capture impressive city skyline views, while the northern side is often prized for sun and light.
Bayswater also has a remarkably broad range of properties, from modest homes and townhouses through to substantial waterfront residences. That variety means the marketing strategy needs to be tailored carefully to the individual property rather than treating the suburb as one market.
Getting around
The Bayswater ferry runs from the marina into the downtown terminal and is the suburb's main advantage over the rest of the peninsula's northern end. By road, it is Bayswater Avenue out to Lake Road, with Belmont and Takapuna a few minutes north and Devonport a few minutes south.
