What Makes This Area Unique

Western Sydney's adventure capital — the Blue Mountains doorstep and the Nepean River

Penrith sits at the foot of the Blue Mountains where western Sydney meets genuine countryside. The Nepean River runs through it, adventure tourism is a growth industry, and the Western Sydney Airport will transform the area.

Living here: Penrith is western Sydney's most interesting proposition: river lifestyle, mountain access, and major infrastructure investment. The airport and aerotropolis will reshape the region. Housing is more affordable than eastern Sydney.
