Question 1

Is Cabramatta West a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Cabramatta West is a small, primarily residential pocket immediately west of Cabramatta, with mostly modest single-storey brick and weatherboard homes and pockets of townhouse infill that give it a practical, suburban character. Residents rely on the neighbouring Cabramatta retail and dining precinct, noted for its strong Vietnamese and South-East Asian food and grocery scene, and everyday needs are supported by local bus routes, proximity to Cabramatta station on the Sydney Trains network, main arterial roads, parks and nearby schools. Sydney Luker Park provides a local playground and paved walking trails.

Home to 7,822 people with a median age of 37 and a typical household income of $1,509 a week, the suburb is weighted towards families: couple families with children are the largest group and the two couple-family groups make up 68.2% of families. About 60.2% of homes are owner-occupied while 39.8% are rented. That mix points to a settled, everyday suburb that will suit households after practical convenience and local amenities; whether it fits you depends on what you want in a neighbourhood.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Cabramatta West?

Accepted Answer

Buying sits well above local incomes: the median house price in Cabramatta West is $1,432,500, which is about 18.3 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census.

Renting a house at $650 a week would take about 43% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a large share, so both buying and renting sit well above what people locally earned at the last Census, with buying especially stretched by the price multiple.

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 Cabramatta West a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months house values in Cabramatta West rose 6.7%, a solid increase in what houses are worth, while house rents edged down 1.5%. Put simply, the year delivered capital growth for houses but a slight fall in the rental income those houses earn. Whether that mix fits your needs depends on whether you prioritise price growth or rental income.
