Valley Heights suburb profile

Valley Heights is a Blue Mountains suburb set into bushland, centred on its heritage railway station and a compact village strip. The Main Western line and the Great Western Highway provide convenient links while surrounding eucalypt forest and walking tracks give the area a rural feel. Housing ranges from federation and weatherboard cottages to modest postwar homes and newer builds on leafy, sloping blocks, appealing to people who want a relaxed community with bush access. The suburb is known for its heritage locomotive depot and small local shops and cafés, with easy entry to national park trails and nearby lookouts.
