LEAFY RIDGELINES WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS
Perched high above the coast, Elanora Heights and Ingleside offer a rare sense of space and stillness on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. With sweeping ocean and district views, bushland reserves at every turn, and a peaceful community feel, these neighbouring suburbs appeal to those seeking room to breathe, while remaining just minutes from the sand, surf, and village life.

The Lifestyle of elanora heights & ingleside

These elevated suburbs capture the best of both worlds, close enough to the coast for daily swims and surf sessions, yet far enough away to enjoy tranquil mornings among the trees and birdsong.

Danielle was an excellent buyers agent for me. I asked her to find a unicorn I could not find myself. She found a property that met rare criteria, and then some, that was within price range. Danielle was helpful with the negotiation process and progress to to exchange and beyond. It's tough to buy well in Sydney while you're busy earning the income required. Danielle is a pleasant, but very effective ally in this process. I would recommend her.

“It was certainly serendipity when our daughter introduced Danielle to us as we prepared to relocate from the Hills District to the Northern Beaches. Danielle was so knowledgeable in the process of buying and selling, reassuring us all the way and incredibly helpful when we found the home we really loved. Danielle took over all the negotiations, making the whole process so much smoother for us. She is cool under pressure, which is so important in potentially stressful situations. What was very important to us was that Danielle was always contactable and nothing was too much trouble. I have no hesitation in recommending Danielle to anyone buying a home and would be happy to be contacted if more information is required.” – L.N.

When buying a property, there are moments when the pros and cons are finely balanced and as the buyer, you are the only one who can make the decision. In 2024 and 2025, Danielle created space for me so I could decide on my new home with limited stress. Her amazing attention to detail and follow up of issues gave me confidence that all the bases were covered and we had all the available information. She also took time to get to know me. She understood when to encourage, when to provide data or reminders of my priorities and when to allow me space. It was delightful working with her and I highly recommend her services.

Danielle has been our guide and guardian angel since we arrived in Avalon 6 years ago. She welcomed us in her parent leadership role at Montessori where our kids first went to school and her support continued as we settled into the community. Whenever we needed a referral for the house we were designing and building, she was our go-to and remains the first number on our dial. Her connections are limitless and her responsiveness is bar none. But it’s her warmth and genuine care for helping others that sets her apart from her peers (she’s looked after our human and fur babies like family as ours live overseas) which reflects the kind of friendship you can expect that goes well beyond her professional expertise and experience. We can’t thank or recommend Danielle enough and hope she changes your life as she has ours.

It is without hesitation that I recommend Danielle Forde as a buyer's agent. Not only is she exceptionally skilled, but she also has a genuinely wonderful personality that made the entire process smooth. One of her greatest strengths is the strong relationship she has built within the real estate industry. These connections directly benefited me (we could access properties before they were listed, and we received honest insights from real estate agents she had known for years). Buying a property was a source of stress for me, and I was struggling to find the time and energy to go through this process, but Danielle made it really easy for me and demonstrated a lot of patience, kindness, and wisdom.

I purchased my first property with Danielle in 2024. The conversation started as more of an exploration on whether I should be looking into property in my early 20s, and if so, how to approach such a daunting experience! However within a couple of weeks, Danielle was able to open up my horizons in the property market by helping me look interstate across Australia, into more affordable markets. Danielle and I had regular catch ups where she would suggest properties, and help me understand what to look out for (good and bad!). She was patient, kind, and calm throughout the search and purchase process which was a saving grace. I cannot wait to buy another property with Danielle down the line.

Danielle was a consummate professional every step of the way. With so much knowledge to share. In what could have been a really tricky time Danielle was there to help. I would recommend her strongly.

FAQs About Elanora Heights & Ingleside

Is Elanora Heights more family-friendly than Ingleside?

Generally, yes. Elanora Heights has a gentle, elevated, neighbourhood feel, with leafy streets, ocean-and-lake outlooks, parks, local cafés, and a relaxed village atmosphere. There’s a strong community presence — families walking to school, sporting fixtures on weekends, and locals gathering at the golf course for sunset views.

It balances convenience with nature beautifully, making it ideal for families looking for space, peace, and access to excellent beaches and reserve trails just moments away.

Ingleside, by contrast, is more rural and private, with larger landholdings, acreage estates, horse-friendly properties, and homes tucked among bushland. It’s wonderfully suited to those who value privacy, gardens, and nature as part of daily life.

Ingleside is perfect for those who crave quiet, space, and natural surroundings. It offers a semi-rural lifestyle where you can garden, grow food, keep animals, ride horses, or simply enjoy views of untouched bushland. It draws:
  • Nature-focused families
  • Creative professionals seeking sanctuary
  • Those who want space to retreat and rejuvenate
  • People who value slow, grounded living
While still being within 10–15 minutes of the beach, shops, schools, and the coastline. Buyers often say Ingleside feels like exhaling — wide skies, open air, and privacy.

Yes — particularly in Ingleside and the elevated pockets of Elanora Heights with striking views or architectural homes. These neighbourhoods have many long-term owners, and property often changes hands through personal networks.

For acreage especially, owners frequently prefer quiet enquiry, thoughtful introductions, and buyers who understand the value of the land and lifestyle — rather than broad, public campaigns.

This is an area where relationship-based access makes a real difference.

Elanora Heights

  • Elevated homes that capture ocean, lagoon, or bushland views
  • Light-filled contemporary family homes
  • Mid-century gems with architectural character and renovation potential
  • Homes designed for breezes, natural light, and indoor-outdoor flow

Ingleside

  • Acreage estates with privacy and space
  • Family homes with generous gardens and rural outlooks
  • Equestrian-friendly properties and small hobby-farm set-ups
  • Architectural bushland retreats that embrace the landscape

Across both suburbs, the defining theme is nature + lifestyle — space to breathe, live, play, and unwind.
