About Pymble

Pymble embodies the North Shore ideal - leafy streets, excellent schools, and heritage homes on generous blocks about 17 kilometres north of Sydney's CBD. This established suburb of nearly 11,800 residents sits firmly in the Ku-ring-gai council area, sharing that region's emphasis on trees, character, and education. The train line provides direct access to the city.

Families move here for the schools - some of Sydney's best private institutions are nearby. The streets are quiet and green, with large homes set behind established gardens. The village centre offers upmarket essentials without the pretension of some neighbouring suburbs. There's an understated affluence here - residents value quality of life over flashiness. It's conservative in the best sense.

Pymble falls under postcode 2073 and is governed by Ku-ring-gai Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wahroonga electorate.
