Bustling and exciting, St Leonards is a high rise heaven for hard working educated professionals who want a low maintenance, high energy lifestyle. This suburb is one of the biggest sky scraper clusters in Sydney and a major employment and residential centre. Its soaring tower developments offer panoramic views from the city to the Blue Mountains. The Forum Plaza above the train station has everything you need to work, rest and play, with retail, food shops, liquor outlets, gyms, pharmacies and a dazzling range of restaurants and cafes.
Restaurants and cafes
The Wooden Whisk and Moody Chef serve up cafe favourites, while trendy Rice Den in Chandos Street is known for modern Cantonese cuisine and creative cocktails. Gilroy’s offers good pub grub, and the St Leonards Tavern is a great place for watching sports on the big screen. The vibrant and diverse dining options of Crows Nest are only a few minutes up the road.
Transport
St Leonards is incredibly well connected with most workers being train commuters into the CBD and North Sydney. From St Leonards train station it is a speedy trip into the CBD and North Sydney. A planned integrated bus interchange and other infrastructure upgrades will improve services even further.
Schools
St Leonards is handy to all the best schools on the Lower North Shore.
Parks & recreation
Currently slightly under-serviced for parks, St Leonards is nevertheless home to Gore Hill Oval, the home of the local Australian Rules team, the North Shore Bombers. A planned revitalisation of Friedlander Place will further add to the amenity of this coveted suburb.
