Mulgrave, NSW 2756

Small suburb on the Richmond railway line about 53.5 km north-west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Hawkesbury, described by Wikipedia as a predominantly industrial and commercial area — its residential population was just 78 at the 2021 census. The locality was settled between 1794 and 1800, when Lieutenant-Governor Grose named it 'Mulgrave Place' after Constantine Phipps, 2nd Baron Mulgrave; it sits on the flat Hawkesbury floodplain at about 15 m elevation between Windsor and Vineyard, with the Mulgrave Business Park and industrial estates lining the Windsor Road corridor. It retains a semi-rural fringe character along its floodplain and creek edges, with housing concentrated in a small pocket near Mulgrave station rather than the sprawling suburb profile of nearby Vineyard or McGraths Hill.

At a Glance

Transport

Mulgrave railway station is in the suburb on Mulgrave Road: it opened in 1864 on the Richmond railway line and is served by Sydney Trains' T1 Western Line, with T5 Cumberland Line services stopping late at night; it is four stations from the line's Richmond terminus and 52.59 km from Central. The Richmond line's Windsor station lies just north in the adjacent suburb of Windsor, and Vineyard station is the next stop south in adjacent Vineyard (Mulgrave railway station services infobox). Busways operates local bus routes through the Windsor/Vineyard/McGraths Hill area, including route 734 (Riverstone to Windsor via McGraths Hill & Vineyard), and Windsor Road is the suburb's main road link to Windsor, Blacktown and the M7.

Schools

Mulgrave itself has no school within its boundaries — its tiny residential population (78 at the 2021 census) is served by schools in immediately adjacent suburbs. Adjacent options: Vineyard Public School (government primary, 4 Bandon Road, in Vineyard to the south-east), Windsor Public School (government primary, in Windsor to the north), and Windsor High School (government Years 7–12, at Mulgrave and Windsor Roads in McGraths Hill to the north-east) (NSW Department of Education: vineyard-p.schools.nsw.gov.au and windsor-h.schools.nsw.gov.au).

Shopping & Amenities

Mulgrave has no retail town centre — its land use is dominated by the Mulgrave industrial and commercial area along Windsor Road, including the Mulgrave Business Park, with service stations and trade/business premises serving passing traffic. Daily shopping is done in the adjacent Windsor Road retail precinct of McGraths Hill (Bunnings and Harvey Norman at 264–272 Windsor Road) and in neighbouring Windsor's town centre, both within a few minutes' drive.

Parks & Outdoors

Mulgrave sits on the flat Hawkesbury River floodplain (elevation about 15 m) where the suburb's southern and eastern fringes meet the South Creek / Eastern Creek corridor — Wikipedia's Vineyard article places the Eastern Creek–South Creek confluence at Vineyard's northern boundary adjoining Mulgrave — giving the industrial area open floodplain and semi-rural creek-line surrounds rather than formal parkland. The suburb's river-flat land between Windsor and Vineyard is a legacy market-gardening district of the Hawkesbury, now largely given over to industrial uses.

Property Market

The median house price in Mulgrave was around ~$1.6M (automated valuations only — OnTheHouse median house value $1,603,509; buyer's-agent data $1,593,500 as of Aug 2026); treat with caution: only 1–2 houses sold in Mulgrave over the past 12 months across trackers, so no robust sold-median exists (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Mulgrave is not a typical residential market: the suburb is mostly industrial/commercial land and had just 78 residents at the 2021 census, so house-price figures are automated valuation estimates rather than sales-derived medians — the ~$1.6M AVM reflects the handful of large houses and acreages that do trade, sitting well above McGraths Hill's ~$1.0–1.2M. Honest range: $1.5–1.6M by AVM, with extreme uncertainty. Buyers wanting conventional family stock look to adjacent McGraths Hill, Vineyard or Windsor instead.

New Developments

Development is minimal and mostly industrial: activity is confined to infill and redevelopment within the established Mulgrave industrial/commercial area along Windsor Road and the business park, with no significant residential or master-planned projects in the suburb.

Jobs & Local Economy

Mulgrave itself is a local employment node: the suburb is described by Wikipedia as predominantly industrial and commercial, with the Mulgrave Business Park and Windsor Road industrial estates providing warehouse, logistics and trade jobs. Residents also commute to Windsor's commercial centre to the north and the larger Blacktown/Riverstone employment areas to the south via Windsor Road, or by train from Mulgrave station.
