Jordan Springs, NSW 2747

Jordan Springs is a masterplanned growth suburb roughly 53 km west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Penrith LGA, registered with the Geographical Names Board in 2011 after the area was carved from former rural land. It grew from nothing into one of western Sydney's fastest-growing family suburbs: the 2021 Census counted 11,772 residents, up 128.3% from just 5,156 in 2016, with a young-family profile — the dominant age group is 30–39, households are predominantly couples with children, and 64.1% of homes are owner-occupied. The Lendlease-developed community (estate development since the early 2010s, still selling land in 2026) is built around a 3-hectare lake, parks and a Woolworths-anchored shopping centre, and Lendlease pitches it as 7 km from Penrith city centre with easy M4 access (Lendlease). In November 2019 the suburb was expanded eastwards to South Creek, absorbing the Central Precinct of the St Marys Release Area that was previously part of Llandilo.

At a Glance

Transport

Jordan Springs has no railway station and no rail line through the suburb — the nearest stations are Werrington, Kingswood and St Marys, each a few kilometres away on the T1 Western Line, and Lendlease directs residents to Penrith station (about 7 km away) with commuter parking. Buses fill the gap: Busways route 783 runs Penrith to Werrington via Jordan Springs, route 673 (Windsor–Penrith via Cranebrook) passes through the suburb, and route 786 serves the broader Penrith–North Penrith corridor (Busways). The suburb's main roads include The Northern Road (the A9) along its western edge and Jordan Springs Boulevard, with easy access to the M4 Motorway and Great Western Highway (Lendlease; openinghoursau).

Schools

Jordan Springs Public School — NSW government K–6 primary school opened in June 2020 as a $50 million build (95% constructed off-site), part of a wave of new schools for Sydney's growth areas (District Gazette; Lendlease). Jordan Springs High School — the suburb's (and area's) first public high school, under construction at the corner of Armoury Road and Infantry Street and scheduled to open Day 1, Term 1 2027 with Years 7–8; its confirmed intake area covers the catchments of Jordan Springs Public School and Ropes Crossing Public School in the adjoining suburb of Ropes Crossing (School Infrastructure NSW). Little Zak's Jordan Springs provides early-childhood care in the suburb (Lendlease).

Shopping & Amenities

Jordan Springs Shopping Centre, at the lake precinct on Lakeside Parade (near Water Gum Drive and The Northern Road), is the suburb's main retail hub: a Woolworths supermarket and liquor store plus about 18 speciality shops, restaurants, cafes and a gym, with tenants including Subway and TerryWhite Chemmart (Lendlease; openinghoursau; Woolworths). Brooks Tavern, a local pub, has opened in the community (Lendlease). Services are otherwise limited — larger town-centre shopping, health and civic facilities are in Penrith city centre about 7 km away (Lendlease).

Parks & Outdoors

Jordan Springs Lake — a roughly 3-hectare constructed lake at the heart of the Lendlease masterplan, a stocked local fishing spot surrounded by parkland and playgrounds (Lendlease; fishangler; chamberofcommerce). The masterplanned community provides 16–17 hectares of parks and open space: nine local parks built with seven more planned, sports ovals, a basketball hardcourt and playgrounds (Lendlease). The suburb's eastern boundary runs along South Creek, and Lendlease says the community sits surrounded by about 900 ha of Wianamatta Regional Park, with the 65 km Great West Walk walking route linking the area toward Parramatta and the Blue Mountains. OnTheHouse counts 14 parks covering nearly 3.1% of the suburb.

A young, owner-occupier market: 64.1% of homes owner-occupied at the 2021 Census and households typically couples with children repaying $2,400–2,999 a month. Houses dominate — the 4,553-property suburb is almost entirely modern detached family homes built since the early 2010s, with 4-bedroom values around $1.1–1.3M. 207 properties sold in the 12 months to Jul 2026 and 66 were listed for sale, so the market is active and liquid by western Sydney standards. Units are few (median $620k) — mostly attached housing near the centre.

New Developments

Lendlease's Jordan Springs masterplanned community — the suburb (gazetted 2011) has been built out in stages since the early 2010s and Lendlease was still selling land and homes in 2026, with a masterplan covering a 3 ha lake, parks, school and the shopping centre. November 2019 suburb expansion — Jordan Springs was extended east to South Creek, absorbing the Central Precinct of the St Marys Release Area formerly in Llandilo, opening up more land for residential development. Jordan Springs Shopping Centre and lake precinct built at the community's heart (Lendlease). Jordan Springs Public School opened 2020 ($50M) and Jordan Springs High School — the area's first public high school — was under construction in 2026 for a Day 1 Term 1 2027 opening (District Gazette; School Infrastructure NSW). Note: the 'Jordan Springs East' stage attracted media attention over sinking/movement issues in some new homes, an issue covered by property media.

Jobs & Local Economy

Jordan Springs is largely a commuter suburb: at the 2021 Census the most common occupation was professionals and most residents work outside the suburb. The main employment and service hubs are Penrith city centre about 7 km away, St Marys to the south-east, and Parramatta and Sydney further east along the M4/T1 corridor. Local employment is mostly retail and services tied to the shopping centre, schools and trades (Lendlease).
