With a population of around 2,027 (2021 Census), it covers an area of 15 square kilometres in the north-western fringe of Greater Sydney. The area retains a distinctly rural character, with acreage properties, hobby farms, and open paddocks alongside new residential developments as the broader north-west corridor continues to grow.

The suburb is home to Arndell Anglican College, a well-regarded independent K–12 school, and Oakville Public School.
