Summary: A high-end land rich with massive, sprawling homes on expansive blocks and wrapped in slices of semi-tamed Aussie bushland, Beecroft is immensely green, highly peaceful – and appropriately pricey. It’s home to some truly palatial residences with long, gated driveways and three-car-minimum garages, without much high-density living to speak of. It’s safe, clean and highly retiree-and-family-friendly with some great schools on offer, but is also a little lacking in amenities for shopping and has a premium pricetag for somewhere relatively far from Sydney city.

Summary: Packed to the brim with a staggering array of housing options small, medium and large, Rouse Hill offers an extensive array of places to live for nearly all life stages and budget levels. Formerly a region of lush pastureland, it’s now a still-mostly-green land of rapid change with nearly every vacant block currently under some sort of development.

Summary: A high-end slice of the “Hills District”, Castle Hill was formerly a secluded and peaceful slice of escapism amongst the greenery for those looking for big, spacious housing blocks outside Sydney. It’s undergone significant change, with the rapid development of its urban centre, Metro connectivity, substantial amenities and an increasing number of highrise apartment blocks changing the landscape entirely. It still offers plenty of space, quality schools and some great views for those with money, but distance from Sydney city combines with the increasing traffic and crowds to dull some of its shine.
