Killara is in my opinion the best place to live in Sydney, it is safe, it is close to transport, Killara railway station (25 minutes to the city), fantastic schools in Killara PS, Beaumont Road PS and Killara High School, Chatswood is less than 5 minutes away so that covers shopping and the people in Killara are some of the nicest you can find in the city. There is no night life in Killara but as I said earlier, Chatswood is not far away at all. There is also great access to healthcare with the nearest hospital being Royal North Shore in Saint Leonards but Hornsby hospital is also nearby.
It is important to note that when I was looking for a unit to rent, on the door there was a paper stuck on saying "No Asians please". This however is very unlike the area and it was the only time I saw something like that.
Overall, it is a stunning jewel in Sydney's North Shore. The only downside I can see is that it is expensive so if you have the funds, I recommend this area. You won't regret it. :)
