About Hunters Hill

Hunters Hill is one of Sydney's most historic suburbs, occupying a picturesque peninsula on the Parramatta River approximately 10 kilometres north-west of the CBD within the Hunters Hill Council area. With a population of around 9,014 and a median age of 46, the suburb is home to a mature, established community with a strong professional and family demographic. Median household income of approximately $3,413 per week reflects its status as one of Greater Sydney's most affluent addresses, and its streets are lined with heritage-listed Federation and Victorian homes offering some of the finest period architecture in New South Wales.

Residents enjoy a tranquil harbourside lifestyle with access to scenic river walks, waterfront reserves, and yacht clubs along the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers. The suburb's village atmosphere is complemented by local shops and cafés, and strong Catholic and Anglican school networks make it a favourite with families seeking quality education options. Hunters Hill is served by bus routes and close to Gladesville and Ryde for a broader retail and dining offer, while its protected heritage streetscapes and leafy canopy give the area an enduring, old-world charm.

Hunters Hill falls under postcode 2110 and is governed by Hunters Hill Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lane Cove electorate.
