About Cherrybrook

Cherrybrook is a premium Hills District address, where over 19,000 residents enjoy large homes, excellent schools, and a distinctly family-focused character. The Metro Northwest has transformed its accessibility, with Cherrybrook station providing CBD connectivity previously absent. The suburb was master-planned with generous blocks and abundant reserves.

Cherrybrook Village provides local shopping, while nearby Castle Towers offers comprehensive retail. The schools are excellent—Cherrybrook Technology High is among the state's best—and the bushland setting provides ready access to walking tracks. Cherrybrook attracts affluent families, many from Chinese and Korean backgrounds, who prioritise education, space, and safety. It's Hills District living at its most family-oriented.

Cherrybrook falls under postcode 2126 and is governed by Hornsby Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hornsby electorate.
