Liberty Grove, NSW 2138

A tiny, modern masterplanned enclave of just 0.23 km² located about 17 km west of the Sydney CBD, created from 1998 on former industrial land around Homebush Bay that was transformed as part of the Olympic precinct development ahead of the 2000 Sydney Olympics; the Liberty Grove development won the 1999 Urban Development Institute of Australia award for excellence. At the 2021 census it had 2,055 residents, living in a mix of family townhouses and apartment buildings built around village greens and private-style communal facilities, bounded by Homebush Bay Drive (part of the A3 arterial) to the west and the Main Northern railway line to the east, and surrounded by Rhodes to the north and Concord West to the east and south. Buyers and locals describe it as a quiet, leafy, secure estate within walking distance of Rhodes' shops and waterfront, popular with young families (Homely local reviews).

At a Glance

Transport

Liberty Grove has no railway station within the suburb — the Main Northern railway line forms its eastern boundary. The nearest stations are in immediately adjacent suburbs: Rhodes station (about 100 m beyond the Rhodes Waterside centre, which sits at the estate's northern entrance) and Concord West station, both served by Sydney Trains T9 Northern Line services, with Rhodes station described as also serving parts of Liberty Grove. The suburb is accessed via entrances toward Rhodes and Concord West, with local buses running along the bordering Concord Road/Homebush Bay Drive corridors and the adjacent Rhodes and Sydney Olympic Park bus interchanges providing connections.

Schools

There is no school inside Liberty Grove itself — the 0.23 km² suburb is entirely residential estate. Government schooling for families in this pocket is served by schools in immediately adjacent suburbs: Concord West Public School in Concord West (the zoned government primary for the Rhodes/Liberty Grove side, per catchment listings for Rhodes addresses), Wentworth Point Public School in adjacent Wentworth Point, and Homebush Boys High School in adjacent Homebush.

Shopping & Amenities

Liberty Grove has no retail strip of its own; the masterplanned complex instead contains communal facilities including swimming pools, tennis courts, a basketball court, a gymnasium and a function room, plus a village green and parks, and the estate has pedestrian entrances toward Rhodes and Concord West. Rhodes Waterside, the large shopping centre in adjacent Rhodes, is about 100 m from the estate's northern entrance, effectively serving as the suburb's retail centre.

Parks & Outdoors

Outdoor space within the suburb consists of the estate's own village green and landscaped parks, alongside the complex's pools, tennis and basketball courts. For larger parklands, residents step into adjacent suburbs: the Rhodes bayside foreshore of Homebush Bay immediately north and, across Homebush Bay Drive, the extensive parklands of Sydney Olympic Park (Bicentennial Park and the Millennium Parklands) immediately west.

Property Market

The median house price in Liberty Grove was around ~$1.6–1.7M across 2025–26 trackers: $1,643,000 median house price as of 2025 (NSW Valuer General sales data via InTheSuburbs, up 2.7% on the previous year); $1.6M (quickproperty, down ~2% year-on-year); $1,690,000 on just 7 house sales over 12 months (YIP) (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Sales volumes are very thin — YIP counted only 7 house sales in the past 12 months — so medians swing noticeably between trackers and windows (house medians cluster around $1.6–1.7M, unit medians $0.89–1.1M, with the faster-moving unit figures reflecting recent apartment resales in the estate). The housing stock is essentially one 1998–2000s masterplanned development: detached houses and townhouses on the estate's internal streets plus several apartment buildings along Wentworth Drive and its approaches, with owner-occupier households dominating (2021 census median household income ~$2,663/week via InTheSuburbs). Liberty Grove is not the $1.9M+ house market of its neighbours Rhodes/Concord West — it trades a step below, in part because of its compact, estate-style character.

New Developments

Liberty Grove is a largely built-out masterplanned suburb: development of the estate began in 1998 on industrial land reclaimed as part of the Olympic precinct transformation for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and the completed Liberty Grove development won the 1999 Urban Development Institute of Australia award for excellence. Little new construction has occurred inside the suburb since the estate was completed in the early 2000s — the growth wave has instead concentrated in the adjacent suburbs of Rhodes and Wentworth Point, whose apartment and mixed-use projects surround Liberty Grove.

Jobs & Local Economy

Local employment for residents centres on the immediately adjacent Sydney Olympic Park precinct — the events, stadium, office and entertainment hub to the west — and the Rhodes commercial and retail area to the north around Rhodes Waterside. Many residents commute to the Sydney CBD by T9 train from Rhodes station or along the A3/Parramatta Road corridor.
