7 Reasons Why I Love Living & Working in Sydney’s Upper North Shore

It’s no secret that Sydney is one of the most amazing places to live in the world.

However, there is one particular area of the harbourside city that I truly have a soft spot for.

As a long-term resident of the Upper North Shore, I’ve been lucky enough to experience so many of the wonderful things that make living and working in this area of Sydney so special.

A lot of people?ask me: “What is it about Sydney’s North Shore that makes it so sought-after?”

Great question!

So, I wanted to take the time to share 7 of my favourite things about being an Upper North Shore local and share why I believe this is truly the best place in Sydney to buy a home or investment property.

Let’s get started!

1.? The natural beauty of the landscape

Sydney’s Upper North Shore is well-known for its lush greenery, national parklands and leafy streets – perfect for when you want to unwind and immerse yourself in nature.

I love heading out on my early morning runs through the many peaceful tree-lined streets and parks around my home.

They say that surroundings set the scene, and all you need to do is take a look around to see what I mean.

2. The unrivalled quality of life

Sydney already has a great quality of life as it is, however, The Upper North Shore truly offers a standard of living that you just won’t get anywhere else.

Excellent amenities are so easily accessible on the Upper North Shore, such as top schools, outstanding healthcare facilities and hospitals, and the various recreational options available for singles, couples and families alike.

The friendly and safe lifestyle was a highlight of my childhood growing up on the Upper North Shore, and I would love more people to experience it for themselves!

3.? The amazing cultural diversity and sense of community

The Upper North Shore is home to a wonderfully diverse population with a rich tapestry of cultures, cuisines and traditions that each contribute to the strong sense of community you feel here every day.

As a real foodie, I adore sampling the wide range of restaurants and cafés in the area, as well as attending events, markets and festivals held here regularly.

From community picnics to cultural celebrations, there are always so many opportunities to connect with other locals and build friendships that will last a lifetime.

4. The comforting feeling of safety and security

Across Sydney, the Upper North Shore is well-known for its low crime rates and well-planned neighbourhoods, making it one of the safest and most secure environments in the city for residents of all ages.

Here, you’ll regularly find kids out on their bikes and playing with their neighbours in the streets, which is exactly the kind of wholesome suburban lifestyle that so many people are after these days.

It’s how I enjoyed life as a child, and now, I’m able to give that same experience to my own children.

5.? The incredible opportunities for a great education

One of the most appealing features of the Upper North Shore for many families is the availability of so many excellent schools – both public and private – to send their children.

The locals in this area have access to a range of top-quality education opportunities to suit all needs and requirements. This is one of the main reasons why I chose to raise my family here.

There are sports schools and performance schools, as well as a great range of private and public educational organisations.

6.? The ease of public transport connectivity

Despite the suburban nature of the Upper North Shore, the area still offers several convenient transport links, including train services to and from major stations, such as Hornsby and Chatswood, as well as various bus routes connecting locals to other parts of Sydney.

On the subject of transport, one thing I LOVE about living on the Upper North Shore is being able to turn up to a friend’s house and park right out the front. Try doing that in the CBD!

Getting around is such an important part of lifestyle and business. So, it’s a real positive that this area makes it very easy.

7.? The close proximity to Sydney’s CBD

Of course, while the Upper North Shore offers that peaceful suburban lifestyle, it’s still within easy reach of the Sydney CBD – meaning you can truly enjoy the best of both worlds when you live here.

Just a short 30-minute express train or bus ride from the city, I love being so close to the action of the CBD, while still being able to return to the peace and tranquillity of my suburban haven at the end of the day.

The Upper North Shore gives you the best of all worlds.

No list of the greatest reasons to live on the Upper North Shore is complete without mentioning the quality of properties available in the area.

The abundance of space here allows for generous block sizes and the building of true family homes you won’t find anywhere else. There’s also a real sense of privacy that comes with this kind of suburban living.
