Are you deliberating over buying in a strata property in Sydney’s upper north shore? As it turns out, this could just be one of the city’s best spots for living in a townhouse or unit. Let’s take a closer look at the lifestyle benefits of areas like Killara, Waitara, Lindfield, Berowra, Asquith, Roseville, Hornsby, Pymble and Turramurra.
First and foremost for many potential upper north shore investors is the consideration of public transport.

Parking is relatively easy to find here, and congestion is relatively low. You’ll also be close to the M1 and M2 freeways, which will easily take you to the Central Coast and South Coast respectively.
The upper north shore has long been a hotspot for quality schools. This draws in many Sydney families so they can live close to options like Knox Grammar, Pymble Ladies’ College and Roseville College.
