West Pennant Hills – One of New South Wales most sought after suburbs

Situated just over 20km to Sydney’s CBD, West Pennant Hills has fastly become one of the most sought after suburbs for house buyers, not only in Sydney, but all of New South Wales. Renowned for its leafy green surrounds, the suburb offers buyers generously sized blocks, large family homes and direct city access down the M2 motorway. With direct access to a range of amenities, West Pennant Hills offers families a lifestyle of convenience.

As per realestate.com.au‘s REA insights, West Pennant Hills was ranked the 7th most searched suburb for houses in NSW for the 12 month period ending February 2021. With only 5000 house dwellings, and typically a small number of homes for sale at any given time, West Pennant Hills averaged 20,206 buyer enquiries per month, ranking the suburb as #7 for the most searched suburbs on realestate.com.au in NSW (source REA insights).

Since COVID, West Pennant Hills has seen a significant increase in demand from families upsizing from apartments and inner city homes, with a greater emphasis on space and lifestyle. Apartment owners from all over Sydney have turned to West Pennant Hills in the search of a free-standing home, with buyers now coming from apartment hubs including Epping, Chatswood, Macquarie Park and Inner City suburbs.

The metro has significantly contributed to reducing congestion on the area’s arterial roads. In addition, the NorthConnex tunnel has further contributed to reducing traffic congestion, with up to 5000 trucks removed daily from Pennant Hills road.
