Nelson suburb profile

Nelson is a semi-rural Hawkesbury suburb on Sydney’s north-west fringe, characterised by large, leafy lots, hobby farms and pockets of bushland rather than dense housing. Streets are quiet and low density, with a mix of established rural-residential properties and more recent infill homes, and outdoor living is a constant feature thanks to nearby creeks, parkland and open paddocks. Residents value the sense of space and privacy while still being able to access the shops, schools and rail links of Richmond and Windsor, making Nelson appealing to families and anyone wanting a country-style lifestyle close to the city fringe.

Nelson property market performance

Nelson has relatively few recent property sales, so there isn't enough recent data to publish a reliable median price for houses or units. For the same reason, recent counts of houses and units sold and median days on market are not published.

The rental market in Nelson also lacks sufficient recent data to report reliable average rents or annual rent changes.
