Question 1

Is Alfords Point a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Alfords Point sits on the banks of the Georges River in southern Sydney’s Sutherland area and has a quiet, predominantly residential character. Tree-lined streets of detached homes, many with river or bushland outlooks, give it a settled, low-density feel. It is a suburb of families — couple families make up roughly 90.5% of family households — and owner-occupiers dominate the housing mix at about 96.1%. The community numbers 3,131 people with a median age of 43 and a median household income of $2,969 a week.

Recreation centres on the river with foreshore reserves, informal boat access and walking routes, and everyday needs are met by local shops and Alfords Point Public School. Public open spaces include Casuarina Road Oval and Coachwood/Narnia Park, and the school received an LED lighting upgrade. The suburb is also the subject of a Transport for NSW proposal to upgrade Alfords Point Road, which would widen the road and modify ramps, a bus stop and the adjacent shared pedestrian and cycle path; larger retail and transport connections are within easy reach.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Alfords Point?

Accepted Answer

On the figures, a house renting for $1,200 a week in Alfords Point would take about 40.4% of a typical local household's weekly income as recorded at the most recent Census (weekly household income $2,969). That represents a large share of income, so for renters in Alfords Point that rent figure is the most relevant comparison; whether it feels expensive depends on your own income and 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 Alfords Point a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Alfords Point climbed 12.8% over the past 12 months, a strong rise in what houses are worth and a clear example of capital growth on the house side of the market for the year.

There isn't enough recent published data for unit values or for annual rent movements to draw conclusions about rental income or the unit market, so the figures available here speak only to house prices. Whether that capital growth fits your investment objectives will depend on your own goals and circumstances.
