Killara
Killara is one of Sydney’s most prestigious suburbs, located just 14km from the CBD on the Upper North Shore.
Known for its leafy avenues, grand family homes and peaceful atmosphere, it offers a rare blend of exclusivity
and community. With outstanding schools, excellent transport and an enduring reputation for prestige, Killara
continues to be a highly desirable address for families, professionals and downsizers.
The suburb is dominated by elegant Federation homes, Californian bungalows, and architect-designed residences set on generous blocks with landscaped gardens. While Killara does not have a large commercial centre, its quiet, residential character is part of its charm. Locals enjoy boutique shopping and cafés in nearby Lindfield and Gordon, while Chatswood and Macquarie Centre provide major retail and dining hubs just minutes away. Outdoor enthusiasts value Killara’s proximity to Lane Cove National Park, Killara Golf Club, and leafy neighbourhood parks.
Killara Station on the North Shore Line provides a direct train to the Sydney CBD in about 25 minutes. Regular bus routes also connect residents to Macquarie Park, Chatswood, and the Northern Beaches. For drivers, the Pacific Highway and arterial roads ensure quick access across the North Shore and beyond.
Families are drawn to Killara for its highly regarded schools. The suburb is in the catchment for Killara High School, consistently ranked among Sydney’s top public high schools, while prestigious independent schools such as Ravenswood, Pymble Ladies’ College, and Knox Grammar are all nearby.
With its quiet charm, premium homes, and unmatched schooling options, Killara is a suburb of enduring appeal. Strong buyer demand, combined with limited supply, makes it one of the North Shore’s most resilient and rewarding property markets.
