About North Parramatta

Young professionals and families are moving into new developments, attracted by relative affordability and proximity to Parramatta's expanding job market. Lake Parramatta offers bushland escape nearby. It's a suburb in transition, where heritage value meets contemporary development in sometimes uneasy but promising ways.
