Buyers Agent Asquith
Buying Property in Asquith
Asquith is a leafy suburb on Sydney’s Upper North Shore, about 26 kilometres north-west of the CBD, bordered by Mount Colah to the north and Hornsby to the south, sitting on the T1 North Shore Line between the two. It’s within the Hornsby Shire local government area, with nearly half the suburb given over to parks and bushland reserves.
Home to around 6,300 residents, Asquith is a mixed suburb of houses and apartments, with a growing stock of medium-density development close to the train line and character homes on the quieter residential streets further out.
Why buyers love Asquith
Asquith’s two high schools have just gone through the biggest change in their history. From Term 1, 2026, the former Asquith Boys High School became Hornsby High School and the former Asquith Girls High School became Asquith High School, both now fully co-educational after more than 60 years as single-sex schools. Buyers are drawn to what surrounds that change: a genuinely green suburb, with close to half its land given over to parks and bushland, and easy access to both Hornsby’s shops and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.

Access off-market properties in Asquith
We understand there are limited properties on the open market, which can make buying a home stressful, time consuming and frustrating if you miss out on an opportunity.
Asquith’s houses, particularly on the quieter streets away from Peats Ferry Road and the train line, don’t often need wide advertising to sell. Whatever comes up tends to move through established buyer and agent networks before it reaches Domain or Realestate.com.au, which is why so many buyers turn to Cohen Handler to access off-market and pre-market opportunities.
