Question 1

Is Bidwill a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Bidwill has a practical, lived-in character in the Mount Druitt area of western Sydney. Streets are dominated by modest low-set brick and fibro houses with some newer townhouses, and daily life centres on local parks, sporting fields and small shopping strips that serve everyday needs. It is home to many families and long-term residents, with one-parent families the largest family type; the median age is 30 and most homes are rented (75.2%).

Public transport is focused on bus services linking to the Mount Druitt rail precinct and nearby arterial roads, and a planned Daniels Road Bus Link would add a one-kilometre bus-only connection into Bidwill. There is also a $5,000,000 proposal for Bidwill Reserve improvements listed under the MLCIP program and awaiting application. If you value practical local amenities, schools and recreation close to larger western Sydney centres, Bidwill shows those features; whether it suits you comes down to what you need from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Bidwill?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Bidwill run to $520 a week. Against a typical local household income of $899 a week at the last Census, that rent would take about 58% of a typical household's weekly income, which is a large share. If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the key figure to focus on; 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 Bidwill a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months, Bidwill's median house value rose 13.7%, a strong increase, while house rents fell 1.5%, a slight decline. Put simply, house capital growth outpaced rental movement over the year.

If you're considering Bidwill as an investment, the figures show the past year's balance between price growth and rental income; whether that balance suits your goals and circumstances is for you to decide.
