About Narraweena
Narraweena is a compact residential suburb on Sydney's Northern Beaches, located approximately 16 kilometres north of the Sydney CBD within the Northern Beaches Council area. With a population of 6,971 spread across just 1.776 square kilometres, the suburb has a dense but characterful feel, defined by established housing stock and mature street trees at an elevation of around 83 metres. The median age of 43 and elevated median mortgage repayments of over ,000 per month reflect an affluent, settled community, with a strong Italian heritage presence — one of the more notable ancestry groups in the area — adding cultural depth to this Northern Beaches neighbourhood.
Narraweena sits conveniently between the commercial hubs of Dee Why and Brookvale, giving residents easy access to the Northern Beaches' broad retail, café, and dining options. The popular Northern Beaches beaches — including Dee Why and Curl Curl — are within a few kilometres, making the coastal lifestyle a defining drawcard. Bus services along nearby Pittwater Road and Condamine Street provide connections to Manly, the city, and throughout the Northern Beaches. Well-regarded local public and Catholic schools, along with established parks and community facilities, make Narraweena a sought-after address for families and long-term residents who value stability and proximity to the coast.
Narraweena falls under postcode 2099 and is governed by Northern Beaches Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wakehurst electorate.
