Galston

A semi-rural heritage village infused with accents of yesteryear, Galston is a charming suburb that offers a unique blend of country flair and modern convenience. Located at the northern edge of Sydney and on the cusp of Galston Gorge, this delightful hamlet was originally known as Upper Dural until it was renamed in 1886 to honour the Scottish town. Today, Galston retains its pastoral roots with historic orchards, nurseries and small farms, while also embracing contemporary living with new architectural homes and townhouses.

With its lively main street and abundance of shops, Galston offers a constant buzz of activity that charms both the locals and tourists. The area provides everything needed for everyday life while maintaining a peaceful, semi-rural atmosphere. Fagan Park, a popular local spot, offers expansive gardens and picnic areas for outdoor enthusiasts, while the nearby Galston Gorge attracts bushwalkers and nature lovers alike.

Housing in Galston ranges from generational family acreages to modern freestanding residences, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate a slower pace of life but still value access to all amenities. Each September, the annual Galston Country Music Festival brings the community together, drawing visitors from across the country.

If you're looking for a tranquil retreat surrounded by natural beauty, with all the necessary conveniences just a stone's throw away, Galston could be the ideal place to call home.
