Question 1

Is Bungendore a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Bungendore is a historic country town on the Southern Tablelands with a compact main street of stone and timber buildings housing galleries, antique shops, cafés and craft outlets, which gives it an artistic, small-town character. Housing mixes weatherboard cottages and older homesteads with modern rural residential lots and hobby farms, and nearby state forests and scenic country roads make outdoor recreation part of everyday life.

Bungendore is a community of 4,745 with a median age of 38 and a high rate of home ownership, with owner-occupiers making up 86.2% of dwellings and couple families the dominant household type. There is active investment in community and sport infrastructure centred on the Bungendore Sports Hub, including plans for a relocated aquatic centre, alongside transport and civic upgrades and a proposed new high school.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Bungendore?

Accepted Answer

A median-priced house in Bungendore at $1,105,000 works out to about 7.3 times a typical local household's annual income as recorded at the last Census, which places buying well above local incomes at that time.

For renters, the typical house rent of $830 a week is about 28.4% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a moderate share of income. On these figures, renting a house looks less stretched than buying for someone on a typical local household income at the last Census.

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 Bungendore a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

The clearest movement in Bungendore over the past 12 months is in house rents, which jumped 13.7%. House values, by contrast, edged up a slight 1.6% over the same period, so the rent a house earns has been the stronger performer this year compared with its capital value.

If rental income is your priority, that large rise in house rents is the figure you’ll want to focus on. If capital growth matters more, the modest rise in house values is the one to note. Whether that balance suits your objectives and circumstances is for you to decide.
