Hi can anyone tell me anything about Castle Hill in NSW? I am thinking of renting something there. Also does anyone know what the high schools are like? Thanks!

It's a great area - lots of money there! Can't tell you anything about the schools there though.

Schools are excellent in the area.. it's a posh place...miles out from the city tho.

LOL!!! We aren't posh out this way!! We're quite normal (well I suppose that's a matter of opinion) really!!!

Castle Hill is a nice suburb. It has a mix of well established housing and newer housing. It's pretty leafy green and there's a great shopping centre.

There is only Castle Hill High School in Castle Hill, but there are others in the surrounding areas. Castle Hill has an OK reputation. It has an extension class for kids who are particularly clever - and apparently that's pretty good.

PM me if you want more info about this area - wel live 5 minutes north of Caslte Hill, so I know the area well.

Hope that's usuful.

Rudi (a posh person!!!! )

We have some friends that lived in Castle Hill, normal people but posh houses

However, they moved to Sydney North shore, for ease of getting to work, schools etc.

Hi Ozzidoc,
Thanks for your info. When you say miles, It only looks like 15 miles to me on the map from the CBD?
Have I got this wrong? How long would it take to get to the CBD? Is there a train or bus even?

ABCDiamond

It is about 30 km to the CBD, but transport has always been a problem. That was the one main bugbear for my friends who lived there.

No train station. Not sure about the bus service, but traffic jams used to be common. Athough the new M2 motorway might have sped things up a bit.

jjonboy

buses are reasonably frequent particularly at peak hours. local bus services to pennant hills train station too... takes about an hour into the city from castle hill by bus... look at www.131500.com.au


we love living in that area... also consider cherrybrook and west pennant hills as these are very similar suburbs but slightly closer to town.

happy to answer any specific questions if you email me

Thanks for the info. I will look at Cherrybrook and West pennant hills later on the SMH
