In addition to the unique characteristics of each of its suburbs, Hornsby Shire is a wonderful and safe place to raise your family.

The area boasts numerous nurturing childcare centers and preschools to choose from, excellent top-performing primary and secondary schools (both public and private), as well as a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities for kids of all ages.

Add to that numerous health and support facilities, a huge variety of shopping options, many dining choices, and fantastic local businesses — why would you want to live anywhere else?
