Overview
Arcadia is a semi‑rural suburb of Sydney, 42 km north‑west of the CBD in Hornsby Shire. At the 2021 census it had 1,475 residents, 79.6 % born in Australia and largely English‑speaking. Amenities include St Benedict’s Monastery, St Columb’s Anglican Church, the community hall and Arcadia Park, home to the Rural Fire Service, while nearby Arcadia Observatory adds a scientific touch. Families benefit from Arcadia Public School and the independent Northholm Grammar School, both a short drive away, and historic roots are highlighted by the school’s centenary projects.
Arcadia Road runs through the centre, linking the suburb to Galston, Bay Road towards Berrilee and Berowra Waters, and Cobah Road to Fiddletown. The semi‑rural setting offers homes on larger blocks, appealing to those who value open land yet remain within commuting distance of Sydney. Arcadia’s scenic streets were featured in the film Tomorrow, When the War Began, underscoring its leafy charm.
