Glenmore Park, NSW 2745

One of Penrith City's largest and most carefully planned housing estates and a classic Western Sydney family suburb, 54 km west of the Sydney CBD: the first residential subdivisions began in the 1970s and the estate was master-planned from the 1990s into a community of 25,021 people at the 2021 census, up 8.8% on 2016. Demographics are emphatically family-oriented — 76.2% of homes are owner-occupied, the dominant household type is couples with children, and suburbs like Glenmore Park are often considered part of the 'mortgage belt' of Western Sydney. Locals describe a safe, leafy suburb of modern homes and wide streets built around the HomeCo Glenmore Park Town Centre on Glenmore Parkway and smaller village shops along the estate's main boulevards, with green space everywhere — 26 parks cover nearly a quarter of its 9.7 km².

At a Glance

Transport

Glenmore Park has no railway station — the suburb is served by bus, with Busways operating local services (including routes 797, travelling via Mulgoa Road and Floribunda Avenue to the Glenmore Park Shops, and 799, via Mulgoa Road and Alison Drive) that connect the estate with Penrith station, roughly 20–30 minutes away by bus. Glenmore Parkway is the suburb's main road, connecting with The Northern Road, which in turn links to Penrith and the M4 Western Motorway. The nearest train station is Penrith on Sydney Trains' T1 Western Line.

Schools

Glenmore Park has five primary schools, two high schools and a special school. Primaries: Glenmore Park Public School and Surveyors Creek Public School (government), Bethany Catholic Primary School, Nangamay Public School — a new government primary delivered by NSW School Infrastructure for the growing Glenmore Park and adjacent Mulgoa Rise communities (NSW School Infrastructure; school website) — and Regentville Public School on Schoolhouse Road, which sits on the Glenmore Park side of the border with adjacent Regentville (MapQuest; school website). High schools: Glenmore Park High School, a public comprehensive high school of nearly 1,000 students, and Caroline Chisholm College, a Catholic girls' Years 7–12 college at 90–98 The Lakes Drive (Glenmore Park High School; Caroline Chisholm College). Fernhill School, a government school for specific purposes at 12–40 Ridgetop Drive, serves students with disabilities.

Shopping & Amenities

The HomeCo Glenmore Park Town Centre on Glenmore Parkway (near Town Terrace) is the suburb's retail heart, anchored by Coles, Woolworths and ALDI alongside KFC, McDonald's, Subway and specialty stores (HomeCo; openinghoursau; Woolworths store locator; Coles store locator). Smaller neighbourhood village shops — the 'Glenmore Park Shops' stop on bus routes — serve local catchments along Glenmore Parkway and the estate's main drives, and community facilities and sporting fields are dotted through the park network.

Parks & Outdoors

Green space is Glenmore Park's defining feature: 26 parks cover roughly 24.6% of the suburb's 9.7 km², giving every neighbourhood its own reserve or playing field. Blue Hills Wetland is a notable local conservation area within the suburb, and Ched Towns Reserve hosts the local sports clubs, including the Glenmore Park Brumbies rugby league club and Glenmore Park FC. The Nepean River corridor itself lies just west of the suburb boundary, beyond the narrow strip of Regentville that borders Glenmore Park.

Property Market

The median house price in Glenmore Park was around $1,285,074 (median house value, Cotality AVM via OnTheHouse, as at 31 July 2026; 386 properties sold across the suburb in the past 12 months) (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Glenmore Park is an almost exclusively residential family market: 76.2% owner-occupation, couples with children the dominant household type, and 26 parks across a 9.7 km² footprint. Trackers agree closely here — Domain's suburb page put the median price near $1.28M in early 2026, consistent with Cotality's $1,285,074 house AVM, while the unit/townhouse median sits around $920K. Note OnTheHouse's own 5-year growth figures shifted between its June (houses +42.5%) and July 2026 (houses +35.7%) snapshots as the AVM was updated.

New Developments

The suburb's newest growth is on its fringes — NSW School Infrastructure delivered the $40 million Nangamay Public School to cater for the growing Glenmore Park and adjacent Mulgoa Rise communities (NSW School Infrastructure; Tanya Davies MP). The main shopping centre has been repositioned as the HomeCo Glenmore Park Town Centre, with Coles, Woolworths and ALDI anchors drawing trade from across the south Penrith area (HomeCo; openinghoursau). Core Glenmore Park is otherwise largely built out since its 1990s–2000s development boom, so activity is limited mainly to infill and renovations on the established estate.

Jobs & Local Economy

Local employment is dominated by retail and services at the Glenmore Park Town Centre and neighbourhood shops, plus teaching and support jobs in the suburb's many schools. Glenmore Park is above all a commuter base: most residents work in professional occupations and travel to the Penrith employment and health precinct — Nepean Hospital, Penrith CBD and Western Sydney University's nearby Kingswood/Werrington campuses — or along the M4 corridor to Parramatta and Sydney.
