Housing Character
Penrith's residential areas predominantly consist of brick veneer homes built during the Western Sydney suburban expansion of the 1950s through 1980s. The city centre has undergone significant redevelopment with modern medium and high-density construction. The Nepean River and creek systems create flood-prone pockets, and the Blue Mountains escarpment proximity means some fringe areas are in bushfire-prone land overlays.
