THE AREA

Add competitive schools and quick access to thriving hubs into the mix, and you have a suburb that many families aspire to.
Lifestyle
Period homes and plenty of greenery, Killara is one good looking neighbourhood. Founded as a gentlemen’s suburb, Killara has no commercial area per se. Where it lacks in food and retail options, it more than makes up for in golfing facilities, bushland and stunning homes with lush gardens.
Bordered by Lane Cove National Park to the west and Garigal National Park to the east, Killara has plenty of bush trails to explore. And those lucky enough to live close by relish in the wildlife. The local council takes a lot of pride in its well-maintained parks that are sprinkled throughout the neighbourhoods.

Big houses and with even bigger budgets to match, Killara is where Sydney’s elite and their families come to enjoy the more beautiful things in life.
Neighbours
Killara was, and still is, an aspirational suburb. Rarely do you see first home buyers moving into the area; instead, families with executive parents at the helm have settled in Killara. And those who have long enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle stay well into retirement.
