All About Chatswood, Willoughby, NSW, 2067

Chatswood is a suburb within the Lower North Shore region of Sydney, New South Wales. Serving as the administrative centre of its local government area, the City of Willoughby, Chatswood is a major centre for business and commerce, as well as featuring a number of residential districts. First European settlement began in the 1870s; growth of the region was accelerated by the installation of the North Shore railway line in the 1890s and the opening of a post office in 1879. Initially home to a number of orchards and dairy farms, the expansion of Sydney developed the municipality in a more urban direction, with Chatswood being officially declared a city in 1989. With a number of historical parks and gardens, Chatswood maintains a beautiful verdant appearance despite acting as a hub for business within the region.

Chatswood is situated just 10 kilometres north of the Central Business District of Sydney. Chatswood Railway Station provides a direct rail connection to the centre of Sydney to the south, and further out to greater Sydney to the north; the suburb is also a major bus interchange, and several major roads and highways run through its heart, making it an incredibly well-connected and conveniently located place to own property. Chatswood is packed with culture and promise, and is an excellent balance between the more rural, calmer lifestyle of the suburbs and the bustle and activity of the heart of Sydney.
