About Schofields

Schofields has transformed from semi-rural village to booming growth suburb, where over 15,000 residents now live in what was farmland years ago. The train station provides T1 Richmond Line access, and new town centres are emerging. The high median income reflects the young professional families building communities here.

New shopping precincts are developing to serve the growing population, while nearby Rouse Hill offers major retail. Schools continue to open as families move in. Schofields attracts aspirational young families seeking new homes with train access at north-west prices. It's Sydney's growth frontierβ€”new suburbs emerging from rural land.

Schofields falls under postcode 2762 and is governed by Blacktown Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Riverstone electorate.
