About St Ives

St Ives is one of Sydney's most prestigious bushland suburbs, where over 18,000 residents enjoy large properties surrounded by national park. Part of the Ku-ring-gai municipality, it epitomises upper North Shore values—excellent schools, leafy streets, and relative seclusion from Sydney's hustle. The median income reflects genuinely affluent demographics.

St Ives Shopping Village provides excellent local retail, while nearby Gordon and Chatswood offer more extensive options. The bushland is the star—walking tracks lead directly into Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, and wildlife encounters are common. St Ives attracts established families who prioritise space, nature, and elite schooling. It's North Shore living at its most secluded and prestigious.

St Ives falls under postcode 2075 and is governed by Ku-ring-gai Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Davidson electorate.
