Revesby Heights is a small, leafy residential suburb of 1,916 people (2021 census) in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown, about 24 km south-west of the Sydney CBD, sitting on the northern bank of the Georges River and west of Little Salt Pan Creek. Originally known as 'Hero's Hill' — returned servicemen were settled there with affordable government housing after World War II, giving the suburb its distinctive postwar character — it remains a quiet, established family suburb of brick and weatherboard homes on hilly, tree-lined streets above the river. The suburb's history is still visible in the Revesby Heights Ex-Servicemen's Club, which traded until 2013.

Transport
Revesby Heights has no railway station within the suburb; Revesby station — on Sydney Trains' T8 Airport & South Line, serving the East Hills line — sits just across the suburb's northern boundary in adjoining Revesby. Buses connect the suburb to Bankstown: Transit Systems route 926 runs Bankstown to Revesby Heights via Revesby, with route 923/924/925 services in nearby Revesby and along the river corridor.
Schools
De La Salle College Revesby Heights — independent Catholic comprehensive secondary day school for boys (Years 7–12), located at 9 Ferndale Road in Revesby Heights. There is no government school within the suburb itself; public students attend Revesby Public School and Sir Joseph Banks High School (Years 7–12), both in the adjoining suburb of Revesby immediately north. Note: the hint of a 'Revesby Heights Public School' could not be verified — no such school exists; the local government primary is Revesby Public School (NSW Department of Education).
Shopping & Amenities
Revesby Heights is almost entirely residential with no shopping strip of its own; the Revesby Heights Ex-Servicemen's Club (Hero's Hill) was a long-standing local institution but ceased trading in June 2013. Everyday retail and services — supermarkets, banks, cafes and the shops around Revesby railway station — are in the adjoining suburb of Revesby to the north.
Parks & Outdoors
The suburb's southern boundary is the Georges River, giving Revesby Heights genuine river frontage on the northern bank — the suburb is described as located on the northern bank of the Georges River and west of Little Salt Pan Creek, which edges its eastern side. Neptune Park is the suburb's main recreation ground, home of the Revesby Heights Junior Rugby League Football Club ('Heighties'), part of the Canterbury Bankstown District Junior Rugby League. Bushland along the river corridor and the Georges River National Park — which extends along the river from around Picnic Point to the west — lie within easy reach of the suburb's southern foreshore.
Property Market
The median house price in Revesby Heights was around ≈$1.5M–$1.56M (CoreLogic via YIP: $1,563,500 house median, 28 house sales over 12 months, 25 days on market; QuickProperty: ≈$1.5M house median, +0.3% YoY) (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Market is thin — only about 28 house sales in the past 12 months, so medians swing between trackers: CoreLogic via YIP reported $1,563,500 with 6.65% annual growth, while QuickProperty's latest period (Jun 2026) showed ≈$1.5M, +0.3% YoY. The hint range of $1.5–1.9M overstates the top end — no tracker puts the median above ~$1.56M. Units are rare (mostly houses), so no reliable unit median exists (null). Revesby Heights is a small (1,916 people), tightly held suburb of established family homes, with rental demand reported down 34% and house rents down 12% over the year.
New Developments
Development activity is minimal in this established, low-supply suburb; new housing is essentially limited to occasional infill on existing lots — for example the architect-designed duplex at 19A Edinburgh Drive — with no major master-planned projects.
Jobs & Local Economy
Revesby Heights has little local employment of its own; the closest job base is in adjoining Revesby, which combines its railway station precinct, retail and one of Sydney's larger industrial areas on its eastern side. Most working residents commute to Sydney CBD or south-west employment nodes by train from Revesby station (T8 Airport & South Line), with an estimated 54-minute door-to-door public-transport CBD trip at weekday peak.
