Area Hotlist — Pennant Hills – Epping
Epping Station & Metro
Heavy-rail and driverless Metro platforms converge to put Chatswood 11 min away and the CBD 25 min by 2026. Lift access, kiss-and-ride bays and a new plaza of cafés and grocers make car-free commuting entirely realistic.
Pennant Hills Station
Express trains on the Northern Line reach Central in 35 min and the Central Coast in under an hour. Weekend express rail-trail riders roll straight onto bush-fringed cycleways without touching a main road.
Macquarie University
Ranked top 200 globally, Macquarie’s leafy campus boasts Australia’s first private hospital on site, a Metro stop at the front gate and a buzzing Uni Bar gig scene—an easy 8-min ride from Epping.
Macquarie Centre
360 stores, an Olympic ice rink and luxury brands from UNIQLO to H&M render city shopping trips obsolete. Free three-hour parking and direct buses from Pennant Hills Road keep errands painless.
Pennant Hills Road (M1 / M2)
Love it or loathe the traffic, this arterial clamps the area to the M1 for Central Coast weekends and the M2 for 25-min CBD drives. Recent NorthConnex tunnelling has peeled heavy trucks off surface streets, easing peak-hour horns.
Lane Cove National Park
Fire-trail bush runs, kayak hires and riverside BBQ lawns are five minutes from suburbia. Wallabies at dusk and spring wildflowers deliver mid-week nature therapy without tackling the Pacific Highway.
Carlingford Court
Coles, Target, Asian grocers and medical suites wrap around a sunlit food court—handy for daily essentials when Macquarie Centre feels too big. Free undercover parking means quick dinner runs stay quick.

Cricket ovals, athletics track, netball courts and shaded bush picnic sites sprawl across 85 ha. Saturday mornings hum with junior sport while mountain-bike trails weave through surrounding eucalypts.
Epping Boys High School
Selective-stream academics, championship rugby and a STEAM Discovery Centre place EBHS high on family wish-lists. Catchment homes command premiums and rarely linger on market.

Pennant Hills Golf Club
Tree-lined fairways, challenging greens and a modern clubhouse bar sit three minutes from the M2. Twilight memberships and junior clinics keep the fairways buzzing well past Saturday morning comps.
Boronia Park & Bike Loop
Fenced playground, new pump-track circuit and picnic lawns make this West Epping reserve a weekend lifesaver for families. Floodlights extend five-a-side kick-abouts beyond daylight-saving hours.
The Epping Club
