Western Sydney is changing quickly, and one of the hubs of this activity is Penrith CBD.
The entire area is being redeveloped into a bustling hub that promises new homes, new jobs and new infrastructure, to cater to the growing population out west. In fact, the Penrith of the future looks less like a centre and more like a city.
As a focal point for regional transport, jobs and services, the Penrith Economic Masterplan in 2014 foreshadowed that Penrith would become the principal gateway to the west, as well as critical for the north west and south west areas. Because of this, more than 900,000 extra people will live in the Penrith catchment within the next two decades. As a result, Penrith City Council, the NSW Government and UrbanGrowth NSW are planning big things for Penrith’s CBD.

But what does this mean for the local housing market and those who choose to live here?
IT’S GOING TO BE A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE
The first and most obvious change will be a vast improvement in Penrith’s liveability. With new businesses, including boutique-style shops, on the cards for the CBD, and potentially even a university campus and lagoon beach, the Council is dreaming big for what the future of Penrith could be. This means good things for local residents and the amenity they can expect in the future.
A retail precinct, including cafes, restaurants, gyms and hotels are on the cards for when the bulk of the development has occurred. There are also plans for a new aged care facility and more parking in the CBD area. This means there will be far more local jobs available for those looking to work close to home.
Part of the plan for Penrith’s future is to become a “30-minute neighbourhood” – meaning, you’ll be able to access most of the things you need on a daily basis within 30 minutes of home. That could be your job, schools, parks and grocery stores, and it would all be close by and won’t require commuting into the CBD. Barely any centres across NSW can boast this, particularly one within driving distance of Sydney centre and the Blue Mountains.
In particular, Penrith is going to become more attractive to young families and young professionals. With property prices lower than Parramatta and Sydney City, this area will offer very similar attributes but with larger homes and at a more affordable price tag. Penrith Council is focusing on expanding the health and education precinct, which will further attract these residents.
INCREASING HOUSE PRICES
With increasing amenity comes increasing house prices. By their very nature, property values are all about supply and demand, and as there’s more desire, and thus more demand, for homes the area’s prices are likely to increase. This can clearly be seen in the case of Parramatta, where the development of the CBD made it even more attractive to home buyers.
It’s likely a range of different housing types will also become available in Penrith, including smaller apartments in higher towers. There has been a suggestion that unit buildings taller than 30 storeys could be expected in the CBD and Penrith City Council has already approved hundreds of apartments in expectation for future demand.

In July 2015, construction had already begun on the UrbanGrowth NSW project Thornton, an apartment and commercial precinct near Penrith train station spanning 40 hectares. A new community building, open space and housing will all be created within this project.
An increasing range of housing types is an indicator that the area is becoming more cosmopolitan and attracting a variety of people. New development also means demand is likely to rise for established housing as well, particularly because new properties are almost always more expensive than their pre-built counterparts.
