You can experience village life in a big city
Riverwood: the area was originally known as Herne Bay - 18 km from Sydney CBD
It is the first time the property has been offered for sale in 25 years. Riverwood by name and nature provides quality of life and a desirable village feel. Filled with character, the property is a mere stone's-throw away from various parks, an upcoming shopping hub, a conveniently-located school, and native wetlands.
"After spending months in lockdown, it made us so happy to have enough space here to finally invite family over. Holidays have also been really memorable because we were able to comfortably entertain around 20 people in the huge backyard. We'll definitely miss the great neighbours here too."

Riverwood: What are the most affordable and liveable suburbs for first home buyers?
Located at Riverwood in Sydney’s south-west, the area was originally called Herne Bay and the Americans operated the 118th US General Hospital there between 1942 and 1944.
Parliamentary notes reveal the Americans were permitted to build the hospital to ease the pressure on civilian hospitals treating war casualties.
Famous American visitors included General Douglas MacArthur, Eleanor Roosevelt, Bob Hope and the clarinettist Artie Shaw.
Riverwood Community Centre has evolved over the past 40 years from a small neighbourhood centre into one of the largest community centres in the Canterbury Bankstown and Georges River areas, delivering a broad range of services.
