North Wahroonga Turramurra

Turramurra and North Wahroonga are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Turramurra is a very walkable hub where 92.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and the typical rent is $590. In contrast, North Wahroonga is much more car-dependent and residential, with 93.6% of homes being separate houses and a typical rent that is far higher at $950. North Wahroonga also has a much larger share of big homes, with 98.4% having three or more bedrooms compared to 77.1% in Turramurra.

Both areas have a similar share of people with no religion, which sits just around the national figure. They also share many characteristics, including a similar proportion of children under 15 and people born overseas. While Turramurra is more connected to the city with a shorter drive time and more public transport, North Wahroonga's First Nations personal incomes are far higher. This contrast in lifestyle and housing persists despite the two areas being less than 3km apart.
