What Blue Mountains National Park is known for: Green suburb, National parks

Suburb profile

Set among the hills of Wollondilly, Blue Mountains National Park is a smaller community with bushland views and a cooler, leafier feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Elevated streets and bushland backdrops bring a sense of fresh country air to daily life.

An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees. Parks, reserves and open space make it genuinely outdoor-friendly for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.

A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
