St Ives: The Family Lifestyle Destination
St Ives is one of the largest and most popular family suburbs on the Upper North Shore. Known for offering slightly better value for land size compared to suburbs directly on the train line, it attracts families drawn to its excellent schools, leafy environment, and strong community feel. It is anchored by a substantial shopping village and surrounded by Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden and Garigal National Park.

Lifestyle & Amenities
St Ives offers a complete family lifestyle. The St Ives Shopping Village is a major drawcard, providing extensive retail and dining options. The suburb is a schooling hotspot, hosting highly regarded public schools (including St Ives High) and private institutions like Sydney Grammar (St Ives Preparatory) and Brigidine College. Commuting to the city is typically via express bus services or a short drive to Gordon station.
Sarah Kaye & Co. View
"St Ives is a powerhouse family market. It offers a brilliant compromise for buyers who want a substantial family home and garden but are priced out of the immediate train-line suburbs like Pymble or Killara. The schooling options here are a massive drawcard, keeping demand consistently high. The market is very active, with a high volume of family homes trading hands."
