Hills District
Box Hill
A formerly rural village on the far northern fringe of the Hills LGA, transforming into a major land release area with new estates rolling out from 2015 onwards. Mostly brand-new project homes on large blocks. Suits young families wanting a brand-new house at the lowest Hills prices and willing to accept an outer-fringe commute.
