Due to its relatively small population and limited development, the real estate offerings often include quaint beachside cottages and modern homes with spectacular ocean views.

Living in 1770 is like being on a perpetual vacation, with its laid-back lifestyle, stunning sunsets, and warm climate year-round. Residents enjoy a close-knit community atmosphere with a focus on outdoor activities, thanks to the area's proximity to national parks, pristine beaches, and the southern Great Barrier Reef.
