Suburb profile
Glen Davis is a welcoming smaller community in Lithgow, with a settled community character. Out in the wider region, it rewards those who value open country and a pace set by the land, not the clock. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here.
Local shops, markets and community spots keep everyday life grounded in the town itself. Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer.
A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
