About Forest Glen

Covering around 5.6 square kilometres, the locality is nestled in the bushland-fringed hills near Galston, sharing postcode 2157 with surrounding localities.

The locality sits within close reach of Galston and the Hills District, where residents access schools, small shopping centres, and community facilities. Nearby Galston Gorge and the surrounding bushland reserves provide opportunities for bushwalking and nature-based recreation. While Forest Glen itself has no commercial services, the broader area benefits from regional bus connections and easy access to Old Northern Road and other arterial routes linking to Hornsby, which provides a major train station, shopping, and a wide range of services. The semi-rural character and proximity to national park corridors make Forest Glen appealing to those seeking a peaceful bush lifestyle within commuting range of Sydney.
