North Richmond

Along the foothills of the Blue Mountains and the banks of the Hawkesbury River, North Richmond is the perfect blend of rural and urban living in Sydney's north-west. Quiet and unassuming, North Richmond is a town that loves to live life in the great outdoors and all without compromising on the convenience that being near major hubs provides.

Bisecting North Richmond is Bells Line of Road, a well-known tourist drive that winds through the Blue Mountains, passing Bilpin (apple picking country) and the Blue Mountains Botanic Gardens. In North Richmond, though, the village centre sits alongside Bells Line of Road with shopfronts that cater to everyday needs. When locals want more, they need only cross the Hawkesbury River to Richmond, Windsor and a little further afield, Penrith, to access a wide range of shopping, entertainment and foodie delights.

The type of place where people settle in for the long haul, North Richmond boasts a mix of family homes on generous sized blocks, acreage and sweeping countryside. Boasting two schools, Richmond and Windsor provide a wider selection of public and private schools. Plus, there is a well-connected train line in neighbouring Richmond as well as bus services, making getting around a breeze.

An idyllic lifestyle for growing families, or those seeking a tree change not far from the city, North Richmond provides so much more with the Hawkesbury River, Wollemi National Park, and the Blue Mountains right on its doorstep. Kayaking, abseiling, hiking, and mountaineering are a way of life, and for a slower pace, there's no better place to take in all the beauty of this semi-rural gem than from North Richmond Heritage Park.
