Many factors have contributed to this with some of them being easier connectivity to the city through the Sydney Metro Northwest, shopping centres and specialty stores ensuring shopping can get done locally, rezoning into high-density designations creating opportunities for people to move in, and new amenities such as sports fields and playgrounds that families of all ages can enjoy.

The Suburb

In this article, we focus on Rouse Hill – a suburb that ranks really high for being one of the most family-centric suburbs in Sydney. Located 42 kilometres northwest of the Sydney central business district (CBD) the suburb has an extensive range of ‘modern residences’ to live for nearly all life stages and budget levels.

Formerly a region of lush pastureland, most of the homes and apartment blocks in this suburb have only finished construction within the last several years. The result is a clean streetscape (spick and span almost to the point of sterile), alongside sections of bush and wilderness and urban amenities. It is this well-balanced mix that allows you to live amongst some lovely greenery and then head into a lively retail and shopping hub making Rouse Hill a perfect suburb for your growing family.

Urban Amenities

Rouse Hill Town Centre is your one-stop-shop for everything you may need. Designed like a true town centre with streets and a Town square this shopping precinct boasts supermarkets and department stores like Big W and Woolworths, outlets of almost every recognisable brand name, lots of trendy eateries, entertainment options including Timezone and Event cinemas as well as medical shops and the library. The fountain plazas and high-ceiling arcades are impressive and make it a pretty damn nice place to shop in.

Rouse Hill is also home to the iconic The Fiddler – historic 1800s Irish pub. With modernised and expanded dining and outdoor entertainment including a play area for the little ones, this place is a great hub for multiple types of entertainment.
