Question 1

Is Bundeena a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Bundeena is a compact coastal village on the southern shore of Port Hacking, backed by the bushland of the Royal National Park. It is reachable by a regular ferry to Cronulla or by road through the park and keeps a small-village character with a handful of cafes, shops and a local wharf. Housing ranges from older weatherboard cottages to contemporary beach houses, many with harbour or treed outlooks, and daily life is strongly outdoors-focused around swimming, kayaking, fishing and bushwalking to beaches such as Jibbon Beach.

The community is about 2,103 people with a median age of 50 and is dominated by couple households, many without children. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the suburb appeals to families, retirees and weekenders. A named wharf renewal is planned and there are other local park and road works, with temporary arrangements keeping the ferry operating during the wharf works. Whether Bundeena suits you will come down to how much you value that village, outdoor lifestyle and ownership-oriented community.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Bundeena?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Bundeena sit at about $950 a week. Against a typical local household income of $1,832 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, that rent would take roughly 52% of a household's weekly income, which is a large share of income; if you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure most relevant to how costly it would feel.

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 Bundeena a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Bundeena climbed 20.3% over the past 12 months, a strong rise in the rental income a house would bring. Over the same period median house values edged up 0.7%, a slight increase on the price side.

Put simply, for houses the rental-income movement has been the stronger performer this year while capital growth was marginal. If rental income is your priority, the rent figure is the most relevant; if capital growth matters more, the small rise in house values is the number to consider. Whether that makes Bundeena the right investment for you depends on your goals and circumstances.
