[edit] History

Kellyville is named after Hugh Kelly, who owned the Kellyville Estate. Kelly owned a hotel on Windsor Road called the Bird-In-Hand. Originally, the area had been known as Irishtown for the clan of Kellys that lived in the area. The first subdivisions of 100 acre lots were made in 1884. ^[1]

Kellyville Public School was established in 1849. For most of the 20th century, Kellyville was semi-rural. From the 1960s to the 1980s about 900 homes were developed in an area around Acres Road, known locally as 'The Village'.

[edit] Housing

In recent years, 1,500 hectares of land has been released for development, the largest urban land release in NSW. Prices range from $450,000 to $600,000 in the village area and new homes range from $550,000 to $2,000,000 in the new part of Kellyville. The estates have a diverse selection of new houses, in which land sizes from 500sqm up to 900sqm are common. Currently, the median house price is $586,250 (May 2008)

Kellyville offers a relaxed and quiet lifestyle being surrounded by rural areas and suburban Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills and Glenhaven. Also Kellyville has the advantage now of being only 35 minutes from Sydney CBD fuelled by the new Lane Cove Tunnel and the M2 Hills Motorway
