Builder East Killara, Ku-ring-gai
East Killara drops down from Killara into the Lane Cove valley — bush-edge blocks 800–1,500m² with significant slope and reactive clay soils on many lots. Bobbin Head Road and Lockley Track frame the suburb, with Killara Golf Course on the east. No train station — bus to Killara or Pymble. Soil and slope drive engineering costs higher than ridge-top Ku-ring-gai suburbs, but the bush setting and golf-course frontage carry the premium.
