About Turramurra
Welcome to Turramurra
Turramurra sits on Sydney's Upper North Shore, roughly 18 kilometres from the CBD along the leafy corridor of the North Shore railway line. It's a suburb defined by its tree canopy, generous blocks and a settled, family-oriented character that has made it a byword for upper-middle-class comfort north of the harbour.
With Pymble to the south and St Ives, St Ives Chase and Warrawee close by, Turramurra suits families after space and good schools, professionals happy to trade a longer commute for quiet streets, and downsizers drawn to the suburb's growing apartment options without leaving the area they know.
Lifestyle & dining
Turramurra's village centre, clustered around the station on Rohini Street and the Pacific Highway, has the unhurried feel typical of Upper North Shore shopping strips: cafes for the school-run crowd, a supermarket, specialty grocers and a handful of long-running restaurants rather than a dense dining scene. It's a suburb where life tends to revolve around home, garden and the surrounding bushland reserves rather than nightlife, and residents who want a bigger night out tend to head to Gordon or into the city.
Getting around
The suburb's biggest practical asset is Turramurra station on the North Shore line, giving a direct run into Wynyard, Town Hall and beyond, and making the commute genuinely manageable despite the distance from the CBD. The Pacific Highway runs through the centre of the suburb, linking Turramurra to Pymble and St Ives and giving reasonably quick access to the M1 and Sydney's northern beaches and lower north shore via connecting roads. Buses supplement the rail line for trips to St Ives and St Ives Chase, though most households here run at least one car.
Schools & families
Education is a major drawcard. Turramurra Public School and Warrawee Public School anchor the local public system, both well regarded and drawing families specifically to the surrounding streets, and the suburb sits within reach of the selective and private schools that make the Upper North Shore one of Sydney's most sought-after school catchments. With a median age of 43 and a population of 12,850, Turramurra skews toward established families and older residents rather than young share-house renters, and the streetscape of quiet cul-de-sacs and large gardens reflects that.
Parks & recreation
The suburb backs onto pockets of natural bushland typical of the area, with walking tracks and reserves offering a genuine bush experience minutes from the train line, part of the broader green corridor that includes nearby Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the north. Local parks, ovals and tennis facilities round out a suburb built for outdoor family life rather than high-density recreation.
The property market
Turramurra's housing market is dominated by houses, which make up 54% of current listings against 44% apartments and units and a small 3% share of townhouses, reflecting the suburb's traditional large-block character alongside a steady trickle of newer unit developments near the village centre. The median house price sits at $4.30 million, underlining just how premium this pocket of the Upper North Shore has become, while units offer a far more accessible entry point at a median of $850,000. House prices have risen 17.5% recently, a strong result that points to sustained demand from families wanting the school catchments and space Turramurra offers. Renters face a median asking rent of $1,800 a week, in keeping with the suburb's high-value profile, and typically reflects demand for family-sized houses rather than units.
Housing & architecture
Expect a mix of Federation and post-war family homes on generous blocks, updated mid-century houses, and a growing number of contemporary architect-designed rebuilds, particularly on the quieter streets away from the highway. Closer to the village and station, low-rise apartment and townhouse developments have added to the housing mix over recent years, giving downsizers and first-home buyers a foothold in a suburb otherwise dominated by high-value detached housing.
