Kurrajong Hills, NSW 2758

Kurrajong Hills is a rural acreage locality about 76 km north-west of Sydney in the Blue Mountains foothills, in the City of Hawkesbury LGA. It sits north of Bells Line of Road, west of Kurrajong and east of Bilpin, with bush blocks and acreage lots climbing the lower slopes below the Kurrajong Heights ridge. The area was formerly known as Kurrajong North and Netley Hill — the old Netley Hill Post Office (later North Kurrajong) opened at the corner of Bells Line of Road and Hermitage Road in 1927 and closed in 1968 — and the name Kurrajong Hills was officially assigned on 10 September 2004 after a 1971 attempt to call the area Netley Hill met local opposition. It is a quiet, low-density bush suburb: the 2021 census recorded just 705 residents and OnTheHouse/Cotality counted roughly 268 properties, with houses dominating the stock.

At a Glance

Transport

Kurrajong Hills has no railway station and no rail corridor — the nearest station is Richmond Station (T1 line terminus) roughly 9–10 km away by road via Kurrajong, with no direct train access from the suburb. Public buses are limited: the rural Busways route 682 from Richmond to Kurrajong, Kurrajong Heights and Berambing runs along Bells Line of Road at the suburb's southern fringe (serving the Kurrajong North Public School area on the Kurrajong–Kurrajong Hills boundary), and services are infrequent with no high-frequency or night routes through the bush interior. Residents are overwhelmingly car-dependent.

Schools

Kurrajong North Public School — NSW government primary school (K–6) physically located in Kurrajong Hills on Bells Line of Road (postcode 2758); it had 66 students enrolled in 2023. Kurrajong Public School — NSW government primary (K–6) on Grose Vale Road in the immediately adjacent suburb of Kurrajong, established as the district's main village school (NSW Department of Education school website; SchoolMyKids). There is no secondary school within Kurrajong Hills or its immediately adjacent suburbs (school directory checks).

Shopping & Amenities

Kurrajong Hills has no shops, cafes or commercial centre of its own — it is a residential-acreage suburb whose only in-suburb community facility is Kurrajong North Public School. The nearest shopping clusters sit in adjacent suburbs: the small Kurrajong village shops and services along Bells Line of Road / Old Bells Line of Road (adjacent, to the east) and the service-station-and-store cluster around the Kurmond Road–Bells Line of Road junction below the range (adjacent Kurmond/Kurrajong). Volunteer bushfire brigades at Kurrajong and Kurrajong Heights (both immediately adjacent) serve the district's fire-prone bushland (Kurrajong Rural Fire Brigade; Kurrajong Heights RFS).

Parks & Outdoors

Kurrajong Hills itself is the outdoors: a bushland and acreage suburb of large lots, quiet lanes and tree-covered slopes below the Kurrajong Heights ridge, at the bushfire-prone fringe of the Blue Mountains foothills where the fire danger period runs from October each year. There are no formal public parks, playgrounds or picnic reserves inside the suburb; recreation is on private acreage, along the back roads, or in the bushland up-slope toward adjacent Kurrajong Heights.

Property Market

The median house price in Kurrajong Hills was around ~$1.8–2.0M (2026 trackers: $1,814,100 median house, Andrea Monti, Aug 2026; $1,880,000 median over 9 sales, SoldNSW, Apr 2026; ~$1.98M 'median acreage price', AusPropertyFinder 2026) (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Thin sales market: Cotality recorded 15 house/property sales in the past 12 months across the suburb's roughly 268 properties, and OnTheHouse showed just 3 listings for sale and 1 for rent as at Feb 2026 — medians swing on a handful of acreage sales. House medians cluster around $1.8–2.0M across trackers but vary with land size; separate-house stock dominates and unit data is statistically meaningless (a 289% 'unit' 5-year figure reflects near-zero volume). Buyers pay for acreage, privacy and mountain-bush position rather than proximity to services (AusPropertyFinder).

New Developments

No significant development projects — Kurrajong Hills is an established low-density rural locality where activity is limited to occasional acreage-lot sales and house construction on existing holdings; the 2026 listing stock was just 3 properties. The suburb's identity as a modern gazetted name dates only from 2004, but subdivision has remained minimal and rural.

Jobs & Local Economy

Local employment is limited and rural: Kurrajong North Public School, small agri-business (the surrounding district's orchards, nurseries and rural trades), home-based businesses and the volunteer bushfire brigades. Most working residents commute down the range: Richmond and North Richmond, roughly 8–10 km away, are the nearest commercial and service centres, with RAAF Base Richmond a major Hawkesbury employer nearby.
