What's it like living in the Macarthur and Camden area?

Regarded as one of the fastest growing regions in the Sydney metropolitan area, the Macarthur and Camden area covers 3067 square kilometres and has an estimated population of over 300,000 people. Popular suburbs in the area include Liverpool, Campbelltown, Glenfield, Glen Alpine, Macquarie Fields, Harrington Park and Prestons. The semi-rural Wollondilly Shire sits at the foothills of the Blue Mountains and occupies most of the Macarthur-Camden area, while most of the population lives within Campbelltown and the surrounding suburbs, which is considered a satellite city.

The regions original inhabitants were the Tharawal people, and many significant sites remain in the area, including the Tharwal National Park in Campbelltown. Mount Annan Botanic Gardens, which opened in 1988 is currently the largest botanic garden in Australia, stretching 1.68 square kilometres. The park is home to an expansive collection of native plants as well as walking trails a restaurant and picnic areas with barbeque facilities, perfect for a Sunday afternoon. The spacious region contains many other parks and reserves making it an ideal compromise between city living and a peaceful getaway.

Macarthur/Camden is widley viewed as the area where Sydney city meets country New South Wales, although Campbelltown and Camden were once rural communities, they have seen considerable development within the last few years, with the addition of many multi-level apartment buildings in their respective town centres. Still, the region remains desirable for those who require large family homes but prefer to avoid the prices of the inner city.
