Torbay’s village atmosphere, proximity to the beautiful ‘Bays’ of the east coast, and access to fantastic North Shore facilities provides for a close-knit family oriented community.
Torbay is a sought after location for New Zealanders and immigrants alike who have discovered its peaceful lifestyle, easy access to North Shore’s most beautiful and safe beaches, quality schooling and well established affordable homes. Multimillion-dollar beach properties and solid family homes with good sections are all available in Torbay, creating a diverse and interesting market.
Barfoot & Thompson’s Torbay office is prominently sited within the village centre, where Torbay’s collection of shops and services include a supermarket, a medical centre, a café and restaurants. Local shopping is supplemented by nearby Browns Bay Shopping Centre, and the Albany Mega Centre and extensive Westfield Shopping and Entertainment Centre are only a short drive for serious shopping!
Nearby Glamorgan, Long Bay and Torbay primary schools, Northcross Intermediate, and Long Bay College are all highly regarded for their excellent education delivery.
Torbay residents make the most of the outdoors when looking for fun, whether enjoying the local pony club, sailing at beautiful Waiake Beach’s Torbay Sailing Club, playing tennis or taking part in indoor bowls. Long Bay Regional Park with its hectares of rolling grassland, sandy beaches and a marine recreation centre is a draw-card for visitors from all over the greater Auckland area.
