Castle Hill to Barangaroo in 33 minutes: The Ashford's prime location near the new Sydney Metro
Veteran Sydney developer Deicorp strategically positioned their new Castle Hill apartment development, The Ashford, as close as they could get to the new Sydney Metro, one of Australia's most significant engineering and infrastructure projects.
The Ashford, which is approaching completion and is expected to welcome off the plan buyers early next year, is just two minutes from the new station, which will take residents to Barangaroo in 33 minutes.
A 35-minute commute from The Ashford's front door to Barangaroo has seen a number of young professionals who need to work in the city enquire on the project, which has the remaining apartments start from $820,000, considerably less than two-beds closer to the city.
The train line also connects to Macquarie Park, Chatswood and North Sydney.
The Hills District has become one of Sydney's most amenity-rich regions. It boasts the upcoming Showground precinct, major retail hubs, fitness centres, health services, and educational facilities.
The ever-growing Showground precinct will see over 15-hectares of lifestyle, retail, and recreational opportunities in the near future. Plans include a supermarket, boutique retail outlets, a new sports facility, an events space, and a community centre.
Within a three-minute drive from The Ashford, residents will find HomeCo Castle Hill and the Castle Hill Homemaker Centre, while the Castle Towers Shopping Centre, offers even more retail options in just a quick five-minute car ride away.
Residents can begin their day with coffee and a meal at nearby local cafes and eateries, with Kopi N Teh and Coffee Trad3rs within a 15-minute walk from The Ashford. This can be followed by outdoor activities, such as exploring the bushland trails and pathways along Cattai Creek or the Fred Caterson Reserve.
In the morning, residents can explore local produce markets and later catch up with friends for a leisurely stroll or light exercise session at Castle Hill Fitness and Aquatic Centre.
The larger three-bedroom apartments in The Ashford, priced at just over $1 million, have been attracting both downsizers and families, the latter also attracted to several reputable schools in Castle Hill including Excelsior Public School and Castle Hill High School, both located within one kilometre of The Ashford.
