About Ingleside
Ingleside is a semi-rural suburb on Sydney's Northern Beaches, located 28 kilometres north of the CBD within the Northern Beaches Council area. With a small population of just 1,030 (2021 census), the suburb retains a bushland character with large properties and native vegetation. The community is predominantly Australian-born (72%), with a relatively affluent demographic profile.
The area is notable for the Sydney Bahá'í Temple, one of only a handful in the world, and the former Smoky Dawson Ranch. Ingleside offers a peaceful semi-rural lifestyle surrounded by bushland, with proximity to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and the Northern Beaches' coastal attractions. The suburb appeals to families and professionals seeking space and privacy while remaining within Sydney's metropolitan area. Local amenities are limited, with residents relying on nearby Mona Vale and Elanora Heights for shopping and services.
Ingleside falls under postcode 2101 and is governed by Northern Beaches Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Pittwater electorate.
