Why this west-side pocket is quietly becoming one of Sydney’s smartest property plays

20 hours ago 1

With Sydney’s growth pushing west, Melrose Park is fast emerging as a community to watch.

Just 10 minutes east of Parramatta CBD and 30 minutes from the Sydney CBD, it’s being reshaped by a new town centre opening in 2026, the proposed Parramatta Light Rail and expansive parklands — creating a walkable, family-friendly neighbourhood.

Combined with premium design, multigenerational living options and sustainability features, it’s no wonder buyer interest is rising.

This visionary neighbourhood is coming to life with lush green spaces and elegant homes, plus lifestyle perks like river access, excellent schools, transport and shops.

Now, its latest release is set to take the community to new heights.

Aeris, perched at the highest point of Melrose Park, will feature premium apartments with views of Parramatta and the Sydney CBD — and is expected to be hot property among buyers.

Aeris is the latest offering in Melrose Park, a thriving community minutes away from the Parramatta CBD.


Resort-style living in Melrose Park

In true Sekisui House style, amenities at Aeris are resort-like and designed to promote calm, everyday ease.

Residents can swim in the skyline-view pool, work out in the state-of-the-art gym, or enjoy the outdoor cinema and BBQ area.

“These spaces are designed to promote wellness, leisure and social connection,” emphasises Mr Grujovski, Project Director of Melrose Park.

Sustainability is also central to Aeris’s design, with rooftop solar panels, communal EV charging stations and energy-efficient features in every home.

Smart-home technology includes keyless digital entry and remote lighting control to support energy management, making Aeris a forward-thinking choice for environmentally conscious buyers.

Aeris apartments also boast expansive floorplans and spectacular views of the surrounding city.

Selected apartments also feature multi-functional spaces designed to grow with a family, shifting from nursery to playroom to study or home office as needs change.

Why Melrose Park’s location is a buyer drawcard

Savvy buyers are always on the hunt for a prime location, and Aeris fits the bill with easy access to both Parramatta and the Sydney CBD.

Residents benefit from the complimentary Melrose Park shuttle bus, which connects to train and ferry services.

Looking ahead, Melrose Park sits on the proposed Parramatta Light Rail route, set to link Parramatta CBD to Sydney Olympic Park upon completion — a major drawcard for buyers.

Day to day, residents will also have everything they need close by.

At the heart of the community is the expansive 20,000sqm Central Park, with sports fields, shaded playgrounds, landscaped gardens and pedestrian links connecting directly to schools, shops and the future town centre.

Spaces like the skyline-view pool offer residents all the comforts of a hotel at home.


The Melrose Park Town Centre, opening in 2026, will be a buzzing hub with cafés, alfresco dining and a wide range of retail spanning across 30,000 square meters.

Families will also benefit from the planned Melrose Park High School and playing field, alongside other nearby public schools, all within walking distance, notes Mr Grujovski.

“Walkability is a cornerstone of Aeris’s planning,” he adds.

A public green corridor will link the development to Central Park, schools and the future town centre.

“Tree-lined streets and pedestrian-friendly pathways encourage movement and community interaction,” Mr Grujovski says.

“Residents can walk to retail, dining and transport options, reducing reliance on cars and enhancing quality of life.”

With the launch of the NSW Government's First Home Buyer Scheme, there are more pathways to find a home in Melrose Park than ever before.

For a limited-time only, Sekisui House is extending a 5% deposit* promotion to all buyers that purchase selected Aeris residences before 1 December 2025.
