About Beecroft

Beecroft hides quietly at the southern edge of Hornsby council, about 24 kilometres northwest of Sydney's CBD. This leafy suburb of roughly 10,300 residents features heritage homes, bushland reserves, and a village shopping strip. The character is distinctly peaceful - trees dominate, traffic doesn't, and the pace is deliberately slow.

Families are drawn by excellent schools and the semi-rural feel unusual for such a connected location. The village centre offers quality cafes and practical shopping. Bushwalking trails begin at the end of residential streets. The community values the quiet character and works to protect it. It's North Shore living with a gentler, more naturalistic feel than bustling neighbours.

Beecroft falls under postcode 2119 and is governed by Hornsby Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Epping electorate.
