Naremburn

One of the oldest suburbs on the north shore, distinguished by small Federation-style detached cottages in timber or brick. However, the last 30 years have seen an increase in medium density housing developments, and it is now bisected by the Warringah Freeway, completed in 1978 and the Gore Hill Freeway, completed in 1992.
