Blaxland

Nestled in the lower Blue Mountains, Blaxland is known for its lush greenery, peaceful vibe and strong sense of community, making it an ideal choice for families, nature lovers and anyone seeking a relaxed lifestyle. It was initially called Wascoe, after John Outrim Wascoe, who held the license for the Pilgrim Inn. In 1914, the name was changed to Blaxland in honour of Gregory Blaxland, one of the renowned explorers who first crossed the Blue Mountains.

 

Living here means easy access to breathtaking nature walks like the Florabella Pass and the scenic Glenbrook Gorge, where you can explore the beauty of the Blue Mountains National Park. For everyday amenities, Blaxland's main shopping centre has everything you need, from shops to cafes, and it’s the only town within the Blue Mountains with a McDonald's. Littlest Coffee Co. and Pioneer Café are local favourites for a weekend coffee or brunch with friends.

 

Here, there’s a range of housing styles, from charming mid-century homes to modern family residences and apartments, many of which enjoy beautiful leafy outlooks. The larger block sizes make it ideal for those looking for more space while still being only a short drive or train ride to Penrith or Sydney, as Blaxland is located along the historic Blue Mountains line.

 

Families are drawn to the area for its excellent schools, parks and sporting facilities, as well as the great location towards the base of the Blue Mountains that’s close to Penrith and Glenbrook, and only about an hour into Sydney.
