Glenbrook Lapstone

Glenbrook and Lapstone are neighbouring areas in the Blue Mountains, though they offer very different lifestyles. Glenbrook is very walkable, with 82.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a variety of amenities, including groceries (74.3%) and health services (64.3%). In contrast, Lapstone is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. Other key differences include the schools, which are far more numerous per child in Lapstone, and the First Nations population, who are far older in Glenbrook than in Lapstone.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, with the typical resident in each area being 44 years old. They share nearly identical proportions of children, seniors, and people needing daily help. Both areas also have a high number of large, detached houses and a workforce that frequently works from home. While Glenbrook has a larger overall population and more public transport stops, both areas sit well above the national figure for typical household incomes.
