Hills District
Cherrybrook
A family-oriented Hills suburb with leafy streets, large blocks and Cherrybrook Public at the heart of a strong school catchment. The 2019 opening of Sydney Metro M1 Cherrybrook station transformed the suburb's commute story — Chatswood is 12 minutes away, Martin Place 22. A growing Chinese and Korean community in recent years. Suits established families wanting big blocks, top public schools and direct Metro access without paying Hornsby or Castle Hill prices.
