Suburb profile

Set among the hills of Wollondilly Council, Blue Mountains National Park is a smaller community with bushland views and a cooler, leafier feel. An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees. With fewer amenities on hand, neighbouring suburbs do much of the shopping and service heavy lifting.

Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many comparable suburbs, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here, with buses covering longer trips across the wider area. Property prices are middling for the area: fair relative to what is nearby.

Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period. A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
