Baulkham Hills, NSW 2153

My wife and I moved to 'Baulko', as the locals call Baulkham Hills,15 years ago from Ryde. It's different from surrounding suburbs in the Hills due to larger land blocks, more trees, lots of birds and wildlife, along with an abundance of parks, reserves and sporting fields. We were both happy we bought when we did as our recently renovated house is now worth three times what we paid for it, and we love living here. Matthew Pearce PS is terrific and Crestwood High is great, plus there are plenty of shops and 'Arise' is the standout cafe, with plenty of other good ones too. It's easy to drive to places or catch a bus and Baulko is a suburb away from the Metro at Norwest and heavy-rail at Seven Hills. Our teenage daughter is happily growing up here and also loves the suburb.

Baulkham Hills is one of those suburbs that really offers the best of both worlds—great suburban living with easy access to everything you need. I service customers in the area regularly, and it’s clear why so many people love living here.

For starters, it’s got excellent transport links with the M2, plus buses to major hubs, so getting to the city or around the Hills District is a breeze. The area has a strong sense of community, with lots of parks, good local schools, and a real family-friendly vibe. If you like the outdoors, there are plenty of walking trails and nature reserves to explore.

Shopping is well-covered, with places like Stockland Mall and the nearby Castle Towers, giving you a range of retail, dining, and entertainment options. The suburbs around Baulkham Hills have a more relaxed pace compared to the inner city, which is a bonus for anyone looking for a peaceful spot while still being close to everything.

All in all, Baulkham Hills is a solid, well-rounded choice, especially for families or professionals who want convenience without the hustle of the city. Definitely worth considering if you're thinking about settling in the Hills District!

Baulkham Hills is expensive but it is a fantastic suburb if you want beautiful green open spaces and a peaceful life but also want the convenience of transport, shopping and schools. We moved here from the lower north shore and can't believe we didn't move here sooner.

Houses and land sizes are so much bigger and the well maintained tree lined streets make it always very pleasant walking around the suburb. There are lots of reserves, parks and open spaces and playgrounds for kids to play and to go walking or cycling.

The transport is actually much better than a lot of north shore and inner city suburbs because of the M2, M7 and the city express buses.
On top of that, the new Metro Norwest Line makes it even better. We live within walking distance to the Norwest Metro station so it takes me 26 mins to Chatswood. They're extending the line to CBD and beyond so you can get to the city in 35 minutes which will be amazing. When it comes to shopping and dining options with Castle Towers, Castle Hill Trading Zone, Norwest, Bella Vista and Baulkham Hills shopping centres all within minutes.

Most importantly for us, all the best primary and secondary schools are in Baulkham Hills as well as the other top private schools nearby in the Hills area.

Oh, I forgot the beautiful birds, fresh air and peace and quiet that makes you feel like you're in the countryside!

Moved here from the inner west after getting married. How much quieter it is makes life more peaceful.
Great place to live as it’s within 40 mins bus ride to the city for work but when you’re home it feels like a world away without traffic noise and overcrowding.
Would recommend for anyone.

I like the fact that Parramatta is 15 minutes away and Sydney is 40 minutes away by bus. And the M2 and M7 is right at our door step to take us all around greater Sydney

Great schools. Close to Parramatta CBD and Norwest Business Park for work. Easy access to M2 motorway and bus and metro options for public transport.

The best suburb for young families, particularly if you have school aged kids. The suburb has good schools, convenient to Norwest business park, Bella Vista waters, Parramatta and the CBD by metro and bus, large house blocks and lots of green spaces and parks. Safe suburb with a good community vibe.

We have been living in Baulkham hills for 2 years. We absolutely adore the suburb. Commute via the buses on M2 to the city takes about 45 minutes. Plenty of shopping centres with Stockland and Castle towers nearby. The schools are first class. Diverse Demographics gives it a great feeling.

Baulkham Hills is a great place for families and has a lot to offer. It forms part of the The Hills District. Situated over a very large area on both sides of Windsor Rd. Some of Baulkham Hills was renamed Norwest and Bella Vista by the local Council, The Hills Shire. Waves our local swimming pool, located off Roxborough Park, close to the Alfred Henry Whaling Memorial Reserve is being refurbished and will be good for young and old. Great sporting event location for school swimming carnivals. There are many choices of Primary and High schools, Colleges, TAFE and childcare facilities within Baulkham Hills. Great shopping and entertainment, restaurants and cafes. Bus transport to local areas and City Bus along M2. Then there is the new Metro, choice of Norwest Metro, Castle Hill Metro and Bella Vista Metro all closeby. It has a great community atmosphere. Diane Witney, LREA Hills North West 0402 026 695

Baulkham Hills is truly a beautiful suburb with large blocks, big green lawns, and an excellent local shopping centre. The area also has some quality primary schools. The people are generally very friendly and courteous, although this has changed somewhat as a large portion of property is being sold to mainland Chinese buyers. The new residents are still assimilating and seem to consider spitting and pushing in lines normal behaviour :-(

The biggest downside to the area as others have mentioned is quite poor access to public transport. Unfortunately, Baulkham Hills doesn’t have a Sydney Trains station or a metro station. The metro stations are not that far away, however they have only a small quality of parking available. Also, the trip to the city is currently quite slow as the metro stops at Chatswood and then you change over to the real trains (eventually it will continue all the way.) At the moment the best way to get to city comfortably is to drive to Seven Hills Station with over 2000 parking spaces and trains to the city every couple of minutes with a journey time of only 33 minutes.
