About St Leonards
St Leonards is a major commercial and residential hub on Sydney's Lower North Shore, centred around its busy train station and the Royal North Shore Hospital precinct. Over the past decade, it has transformed with high-rise apartment developments attracting young professionals and downsizers seeking convenient city access. The suburb sits at the junction of the Pacific Highway and Gore Hill Freeway, making it one of the most connected locations north of the Harbour.
The area offers a mix of corporate offices, medical facilities, and an emerging dining scene along Atchison Street. With median incomes around $76k, residents are typically professionals who value the 10-minute train ride to the CBD. St Leonards is practical rather than pretty — it's about location, convenience, and modern apartment living rather than heritage charm.
St Leonards falls under postcode 2065 and is governed by Lane Cove Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Willoughby electorate.
