Berridale.

Berridale, often referred to as the “crossroads of the Snowy,” is a charming village with a relaxed small-town atmosphere. Just under two hours from Canberra and 45 minutes from popular ski resorts in the Snowy Mountains, it’s the perfect base for snow lovers seeking a more affordable property option than nearby Thredbo, Perisher or Jindabyne. 

The town offers a welcoming atmosphere and a growing residential area, with many new homes sprouting up in recent years. Whether you’re enjoying the local cafes like Meet You Halfway Coffee or Shut the Gate Wines & Grocer, or just appreciating the poplar trees lining the main street, planted by local kids in the 1930s, there’s a true sense of community here. 

For those who love the outdoors, Berridale offers attractions such as the Berridale Memorial Park, the local skatepark and the Coolamatong Golf Club. Top streets like O’Brien Avenue and Bent Street provide quiet, leafy spaces for families, while still being close to shops and amenities. 

Berridale’s property market is made up of post-war brick homes, contemporary new builds and classic fibro houses. With the area’s growing popularity, it’s an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful, family-friendly lifestyle with close proximity to the snow.
