Gregory Hills, NSW 2557

A master-planned release-area suburb about 58 km south-west of the Sydney CBD that has grown faster than almost anywhere in Sydney: population jumped 83.4% from 4,985 in 2016 to 9,142 at the 2021 census, and the suburb was assigned on 1 August 2008, named from the local topography and the original St Gregory's Chapel on the former Marist Brothers land. The 2021 census paints a classic young-family profile: median age just 30 (vs 39 for NSW), 13.1% of residents aged 0-4, average household size 3.2, 55.7% of adults married, and 66.8% of homes owner-occupied. Agents and local guides describe it as a family-first, first-home-buyer suburb of new estates, townhouses and duplexes wrapped around the Woolworths- and Aldi-anchored Gregory Hills Town Centre, in the heart of Sydney's South West growth corridor and minutes from the Oran Park and Gledswood Hills release areas.

At a Glance

Transport

Public transport is bus-only — Gregory Hills has no railway station. Bus routes 840 and 841 run along Gregory Hills Drive near the town centre: route 840 links Gregory Hills with Campbelltown, Leppington and Oran Park, while route 841 connects Gregory Hills with Leppington Station and Narellan Town Centre (Montessori Academy Gregory Hills centre page). Route 841 — Leppington – Gledswood Hills – Gregory Hills – Narellan — was introduced 7 March 2016 to serve the new south-west estates (Sydney bus routes history PDF). The nearest rail stations are Leppington on the T2 Leppington line and Macarthur/Campbelltown on the T8 line via route 840; Oran Park's main rail link is the 858 bus to Leppington, and buses in the area are operated under Transport for NSW contracts.

Schools

Gregory Hills Public School — NSW government primary (K-6) on Long Reef Circuit. The suburb's students were for years bussed to nearby schools or taught in demountable classrooms while a permanent school was campaigned for; the permanent school — 44 classrooms, four support classrooms, library, communal hall plus sporting and recreation amenities — was built by School Infrastructure NSW (construction commenced May 2023, completed July 2024) and its grand opening was held in July 2024 (School Infrastructure NSW; South West Voice; Good Morning Macarthur). St Gregory's College Campbelltown — independent Catholic school at 100 Badgally Road, Gregory Hills: boys' day and boarding college for Years 7-12 with a co-educational Junior School (K-6) on the same campus. There is no public high school in the suburb itself: from Day 1 of Term 1 2025, the new Gledswood Hills High School began operating on the former temporary Gregory Hills Public School site to serve the area while its permanent campus is planned (South West Voice).

Shopping & Amenities

Gregory Hills Town Centre (33 Village Circuit) is the suburb's village-centre hub — a Woolworths and Aldi plus over 30 specialty stores, services, groceries and restaurants, with Our Medical Gregory Hills bulk-billing GPs at the centre open to 10pm daily (Our Medical). A separate commercial strip and Homemaker Centre sit along Gregory Hills Drive. Health care is a local strength: the SOMA wellness precinct medical centre, and the Gregory Hills Urgent Care Service — open seven days 8am-8pm with GP and nurse staffing, which logged 8,400+ visits in its first period — are in the suburb, and The George Centre, a modern private day/short-stay surgical and maternity hospital on Gregory Hills Drive at the suburb's edge (its own site places it in neighbouring Gledswood Hills), is minutes from the town centre. For extra retail, Oran Park Podium — the shopping centre of adjacent Oran Park, opened September 2014 and renovated and enlarged in 2024 — is just across the suburb's western boundary.

Parks & Outdoors

A master-planned green network rather than bushland: Cotality counts 7 parks covering nearly 1.6% of the suburb's area, and the estates are threaded with parks, playgrounds and walking paths. Thomas Donovan Park (also listed as Thomas Donovan Reserve) is one of Camden LGA's newer parks with barbecue facilities, a covered picnic area and playground (Camden Council). Howard Park — a 'super playground' unveiled on Friday 7 June between the newly opened Gregory Hills Town Centre and the future Gregory Hills Public School — draws local families (Western Sydney Mums). Suburb guides list around 14 public parks in Gregory Hills including Bunya Park and Champagnat Park, and the suburb's edges still give onto farmland and green corridors of the South West growth fringe (NearMe).

Property Market

The median house price in Gregory Hills was around No single true figure — trackers cluster around $1.05M-$1.2M depending on the window: OnTheHouse (Cotality) median house VALUE of $1,203,926 as at 31 July 2026 (5-year increase 35.14%), while Cotality sale-price data via propertyvalue.com.au shows 188 house SALES in the 12 months to Sept 2026 at a median of ~$1.1M (up 8.4% annually), NSW Valuer General settlements for 2025 put the median at $1.05M across 191 sales (up 7.1% vs 2024), and YIP quotes a $1.1M median with 8.64% annual growth. (The $1.3M-$1.7M figures sometimes quoted for the suburb are not supported by recorded sales data.) (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Whole suburb is new stock: gazetted 2008 and built out through the 2010s-2020s, so nearly every sale is a modern 4-bedroom house, duplex or townhouse on 300-450 m² (recent sales: 82 Firewheel Cct $1,840,000 Dec 2025 on 433 m², 5 Hillston Cct $1,150,000, 1 Wee Jasper St $1,080,000, 31 Barrett St $1,035,000 — proplo). New land releases continue: the View Estate at Gregory Hills sold more than 50% of Stage 1 and registered Stage 2 lots in 2025, and house-and-land packages are marketed by builders such as Birdy Homes. Trackers agree on direction: house values up ~7-8.4% over the past year and ~35% over five years, consistent with the suburb's pipeline of young families and continuing estate releases. Note medians vary by method: Cotality value $1.204M vs VG settlement median $1.05M.

New Developments

The suburb itself is the development story — a release area gazetted on 1 August 2008 on former Marist Brothers farmland and transformed from 38 residents in 2011 into a 9,142-person suburb by 2021, with growth continuing via new estates and land stages. Gregory Hills Town Centre (Home Co) delivered the Woolworths/Aldi village centre as the estate built out. Central Hills Business Park — a 45-hectare master-planned business park in the heart of the suburb, developed in joint venture with Dartwest Developments and including the Homemaker Centre Gregory Hills — has become a local employment hub, with new factory/warehouse buildings (up to ~1,570 m², 7 m clearance) still being marketed in 2025-26 and agents describing Gregory Hills as the heart of Sydney's South West growth corridor about 49 km from the CBD. Health infrastructure is the other big story: The George Centre private surgical and maternity hospital opened on Gregory Hills Drive as the first stage of the Camden Medical Precinct, and the 473-bed, six-storey, ~$330M 'Gregory Hills Private Hospital' development — set to be NSW's largest private hospital — has state planning approval. New permanent Gregory Hills Public School facilities (44 classrooms, completed July 2024) rounded out the suburb's social infrastructure (School Infrastructure NSW).

Jobs & Local Economy

Local employment is anchored by the 45-hectare Central Hills Business Park — the 'thriving commercial hub' of warehouse, industrial and homemaker space in the heart of the suburb that is a key source of jobs for the surrounding residential catchment — plus retail, hospitality and services jobs at Gregory Hills Town Centre and the Gregory Hills Drive commercial strip. Health is a fast-growing local employer: The George Centre private hospital has recruited region-leading surgeons and specialists and is expanding under the proposed 473-bed, $330M Gregory Hills Private Hospital within the Camden Medical Precinct (The George Centre; South West Voice). Most working residents commute out to Campbelltown, Camden and Macarthur employment areas — labour-force participation was a high 73% at the 2021 census with 26.6% of adults holding bachelor degrees or above and a professional-heavy occupational mix — using route 840 buses toward Campbelltown or driving the short distance to the M31/M5 corridors (Montessori Academy; Combined Commercial).
