Quiet, established family suburb about 46 km west of the Sydney CBD in Greater Western Sydney, in the City of Blacktown local government area. The suburb was created from the early 1980s, when the NSW Land Commission (Landcom) developed former poultry and vegetable farmland as 'The Oaks Estate' — largely complete by 1985 — and residents successfully lobbied the Geographical Names Board to name it Oakhurst. Today it is a settled, low-rise residential area of predominantly 1980s brick family homes with around 6,947 residents at the 2021 census (71.5% of homes owner-occupied), its local retail at Plumpton Marketplace on the southern boundary and its K–12 private school, Richard Johnson Anglican College, on Hyatts Road. It sits on the western fringe of Sydney's growth corridor, just north of Plumpton and the Mount Druitt area.

Transport
Public transport is bus-based — Oakhurst has no railway station. Busways services link the suburb with Mount Druitt and Blacktown railway stations: route 750 runs Blacktown–Oakhurst–Mount Druitt, and routes 754, 756 and 761 also serve the Mount Druitt–Plumpton–Bidwill–Blacktown corridor (Sydney bus route histories; Busways area timetable). The nearest rail access is Mount Druitt station on the T1 Western Line, a short bus or car trip south via Jersey Road, with Rooty Hill station roughly the same distance away.
Schools
The only school within Oakhurst itself is Richard Johnson Anglican College — an independent co-educational Anglican K–12 school at 93 Hyatts Road, founded 1997, educating more than 1,000 students. Oakhurst has no government school of its own: public primary students across much of the suburb fall in the intake catchment of Hassall Grove Public School in adjoining Hassall Grove (the zone covers Hassall Grove and Oakhurst), and the nearest government high school is Plumpton High School in adjoining Plumpton.
Shopping & Amenities
Oakhurst has no shopping strip within its own boundaries — Wikipedia describes Plumpton Marketplace, on the Jersey Road boundary in the adjoining suburb of Plumpton, as Oakhurst's local shopping centre: a Woolworths-anchored centre whose long-time tenants have included Big W, Commonwealth Bank and Flight Centre. Hassall Grove Plaza in adjoining Hassall Grove adds a green grocer, bakery, hair salons and take-away shops for local residents. Blacktown City Council lists the marketplace address as Cnr Hyatts Road & Jersey Road, Plumpton (Blacktown City Council).
Parks & Outdoors
Local green space is a strong point: Blacktown City Council's parks directory lists Hanna Reserve on Hyatts Road as the suburb's main sportsground, and it is the home ground of the Plumpton/Oakhurst Soccer Club, which competes in the Blacktown & Districts Soccer Football Association. Suburb data counts 13 parks covering nearly 19.5% of Oakhurst's roughly 2 km² area — a high share of open space — alongside the heritage-listed Blacktown Native Institution site on Richmond Road at the suburb's edge.
Property Market
The median house price in Oakhurst was around ~$1.06–1.15M: $1,060,000 (CoreLogic via YIP, 66 house sales over the 12 months to May 2026); Allhomes lists a $1,150,000 median house sale price and propertyvalue.com.au a ~$1.1M median (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. A family-house market sitting right around the $1.0–1.15M mark: trackers cluster closely, with YIP/CoreLogic at $1,060,000 on 66 sales (12 months to May 2026), Allhomes at $1,150,000 and propertyvalue.com.au at ~$1.1M. Units barely trade here (5 sales in 12 months), so no unit median is published. Housing is almost entirely detached 1980s-estate houses on low-density residential zoning (roughly 2,105 lots), 71.5% owner-occupied at the 2021 census; median house rent was about $650/week with a ~3.4% gross yield.
New Developments
Oakhurst is essentially built out, so development is small-scale infill: DA trackers logged about 34 development applications over the past 12 months, several of them secondary dwellings — 'granny-flat plays rather than apartment supply' (Daleads). The suburb is zoned low-density residential across roughly 2,105 lots, and the major new housing and employment growth in the immediate area is occurring in the adjoining Marsden Park–Colebee corridor to the north rather than within Oakhurst itself (ZonedSS; Daleads; PlanTrack).
Jobs & Local Economy
Local employment centres on nearby retail, services, education and logistics: Plumpton Marketplace and Hassall Grove Plaza (in the adjoining suburbs of Plumpton and Hassall Grove) anchor retail jobs, Richard Johnson Anglican College is a significant local education employer, and the adjoining Marsden Park–Colebee industrial precinct — including Sydney Business Park — is a major warehouse and logistics employment hub with hundreds of advertised roles.
