Overview

Arcadia is a semi‑rural suburb 42 km north‑west of Sydney’s CBD, set within Hornsby Shire. Its leafy streets are anchored by St Benedict’s Monastery, St Columb’s Anglican Church, the Arcadia Community Hall and a well‑used park that also houses the local Rural Fire Service. Families benefit from Arcadia Public School for primary education, while the nearby independent Northholm Grammar School serves students through Year 12. The suburb’s modest population of 1,475 (2021 Census) is largely Australian‑born, with English spoken at home by 88 % of residents, fostering a tight‑knit community atmosphere.

Arcadia Road is the main thoroughfare, linking the suburb to Galston in the south and to Bay Road, Cobah Road, Fiddletown and Berowra Waters in the north. Within a kilometre you’ll find the Arcadia observatory and the eponymous park, and just beyond, the historic settings featured in the film Tomorrow, When the War Began. This blend of natural open space, local amenities and convenient road connections underpins a relaxed yet connected lifestyle.
