About Frenchs Forest
Frenchs Forest is a Northern Beaches suburb undergoing dramatic transformation, where over 14,000 residents live amid bushland and the new Northern Beaches Hospital precinct. The new hospital has brought development pressure to a previously low-key suburb. Surrounded by Garigal National Park bushland, it maintains a distinctly green character.
The Forest Way shopping precinct handles local needs, while Warringah Mall at nearby Brookvale provides major retail. The bushland setting means kangaroos remain common, and walking tracks provide ready recreation. Frenchs Forest attracts families seeking Northern Beaches living with hospital proximity and bushland surrounds. It's the beaches meeting the bush—green, changing, and family-focused.
Frenchs Forest falls under postcode 2086 and is governed by Northern Beaches Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Davidson electorate.
