Question 1

Is Airds a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Airds is a south-western Sydney suburb in the Campbelltown area with modest post-war and mid-century homes alongside pockets of newer townhouses and infill. It has a history of public housing and now contains a mix of renters and owner-occupiers, many families and multigenerational households. The population is young, with a median age of 29, a typical household income of $944 a week, and roughly four in five homes rented.

Streets open onto parks, playing fields and remnants of bushland, and everyday needs are met by small shopping strips and community facilities while major retail, health services and the rail link are found in nearby Campbelltown. A long-running Airds–Bradbury renewal is under way, including a new town centre, community and seniors housing, bushland regeneration and a significant program of private and social homes, backed by council funding for local infrastructure. Whether Airds suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Airds?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Airds sit at about $580 a week. Against a typical local household income of $944 a week at the last Census, that rent would take roughly 61.4% of income, which is a large share. For people renting here, that rent share is the most directly relevant figure when comparing housing costs to what local households earned at the last Census; whether it feels expensive depends on your own circumstances.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Airds a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Airds climbed 18.4% over the past 12 months, a strong rise in the price of houses. Over the same period house rents rose 5.5%, a solid increase in rental income, so capital growth for houses has outpaced rent growth this year.

If capital growth is your priority, the value movement is the figure to notice; if rental income matters more, look to the rent change. Whether that balance suits your goals and circumstances is for you to decide.
