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!
