Choosing the best property in Balmain for children

If you think Balmain property is a great place to raise a growing family, you're not alone. According to RP Data, about 36 per cent of Balmain's population is couples with children, so there's no doubt your brood will have plenty of company.

Knowing there will be other kids around is reassuring for many parents, but what else should you look for in your family's next property?

Outdoor spaces

The advent of technological toys means more Australian kids are spending time inside, but living near parks and playgrounds is often incentive enough to get young ones out the door and exercising in fresh air.

If you choose Balmain real estate, there's a good chance you'll live near one of the suburb's stunning parks - these green spaces cover 3 per cent of the total area. Check the council website to see which facilities are available at each park. Many host organised sporting events for the whole family to get involved with.

Good schools

Education is of paramount concern for most parents. Balmain Public School is nestled in the heart of this suburb, making it an easy and safe walk from many nearby streets. This primary school gets young Sydneysiders off on the right foot, offering a strong sense of community and special programs like gymnastics and inter-school sport and debating.

The school also borders Gladstone Park, where neighbours frequently gather for games of lawn bowls, basketball and picnics.

Its family-friendliness isn't the only reason to invest in Balmain property - the median prices of homes has been steady over the last quarter, which means it could be a good time to get a good deal on your family home.
