Quiet semi-rural suburb in the north-west Sydney basin, in the City of Hawkesbury east of Kurrajong and north of Glossodia. East Kurrajong runs along a single sandstone ridge for 16 km from the foot of the Blue Mountains in the west almost to the Hawkesbury River in the east, bounded by Roberts Creek to the north and Howes Creek to the south, with elevations up to about 140 m. At the 2021 census it had 2,203 residents. The suburb is characterised by large residential acreages and farmland strung along East Kurrajong Road, with very high home ownership (91.5% owner-occupied) and residents most commonly working in trades.

Transport
East Kurrajong has no railway station and no frequent public transport. Bus access is limited to services along and near East Kurrajong Road — route 668 (Windsor to Richmond via Wilberforce and Glossodia) and local school services S901/S902 stop at points such as East Kurrajong Road after Whalan Road, running only a few times a day. The nearest railway station is Richmond on the T1 line, roughly a 15-minute drive from the suburb's western end via Kurrajong.
Schools
There is no school within East Kurrajong itself. The nearest government primary schools sit in adjoining suburbs: Kurrajong Public School (1111 Grose Vale Road) lies in Kurrajong on the suburb's western border, and Glossodia Public School (Golden Valley Drive) lies in Glossodia to the south (NSW Department of Education). No high school is located in East Kurrajong or its immediately adjoining suburbs.
Shopping & Amenities
Amenities within the suburb are minimal. The East Kurrajong School of Arts Community Hall at 1090 East Kurrajong Road — officially opened in 1924 and still run by the local School of Arts — is the suburb's central venue for community events. There is no shopping village inside East Kurrajong; the closest shops are the Kurrajong Village strip along Old Bells Line of Road in the adjoining suburb of Kurrajong.
Parks & Outdoors
The suburb is rural countryside: a 16 km sandstone ridge between Roberts Creek and Howes Creek, capped intermittently with shale and clothed in Cumberland Plain dry sclerophyll forest and eucalypt woodland, rising from near sea level to about 140 m at the Blue Mountains end. The ridge's eastern end reaches almost to the Hawkesbury River, with farmland, bushland and acreage properties along the way, and the local creeks and hills make it a quiet rural setting.
Property Market
The median house price in East Kurrajong was around ~$1.8M median house sale price over the past 12 months (Cotality: $1.8M median sale price / $1.7M median value on 31 house sales; suburbscan: $1,800,000 for the Q4 2025 quarter on 27 recorded sales) (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Sales data is thin — 27–31 house sales a year — so medians swing with a handful of large acreage transactions. Median value is ~$1.7M against a $1.8M median sale price, properties average 68 days on market with vendor discounting of -7.7%, and the rental pool is tiny. This is a lifestyle-acreage market: 91.5% of homes are owner-occupied, well above the national norm, and residents most commonly work in trades.
New Developments
Minimal — East Kurrajong has no development pipeline to speak of. Cotality's development-permit record for the suburb is dominated by small individual works (extensions, alterations and rural buildings) on existing acreage, and growth is limited to one-off acreage subdivisions along East Kurrajong Road. Hawkesbury City Council's rural zoning keeps new development low-key.
Jobs & Local Economy
Local employment within the suburb is limited — East Kurrajong is essentially residential acreage, and residents most commonly work in trades occupations. Workers commute out of the suburb for most jobs, typically to the Richmond/Kurrajong and Windsor employment areas on either side of the Hawkesbury floodplain, or further afield towards Sydney.
