Cherrybrook

Lush lawns and spacious homes make family living in Cherrybrook as picturesque as the name suggests. The name ‘Cherrybrook’ is said to have been borrowed from ‘Cherrybrook Cottage’, the name a couple in the mid-1800s gave to their home, a small timber cottage. Inspiration for the name is rumoured to have come from the cherry trees they planted by the creek. Cherrybrook locals tend to work in offices – which is why they probably enjoy coming home to the beauty of this area. The suburb is also well designed for families with the full gamut of educational facilities from childcare through to Cherrybrook Technology High School, the largest government high school in the state. Cherrybrook Village Shopping Centre is the main shopping centre and has all the essential supermarket, beauty, health and professional services outlets. Appletree Shopping Centre on Shepherds drive has a smaller collection of shops and takeaway food. Elouera Bushland Reserve splays along the creeks on the eastern side of Cherrybrook. For more recreation, there’s Greenway Park, where you’ll find the indoor heated pool, and a dog park; Edward Bennett Oval for soccer and cricket; and Thomas Thompson Park for tennis, soccer and cricket. Baseball is a popular sport and is based at Greenway Park. There are plenty of schools servicing Cherrybrook including several public schools, the popular Cherrybrook Technology High School and Inala (a Steiner school for people with disabilities). The majority of homes in Cherrybrook are stand-alone houses, with very few apartments available. The average home has three or four bedrooms. Large entertainment areas indoors and out, double garages, multiple bathrooms and kitchens mean that the average Cherrybrook home is serious business. For those seeking more space, you might even find your own estate on acreage. If you’re after a family home where everyone can find their own corner, beautiful settings for entertaining and plenty of parklands to explore, Cherrybrook is for you.
