Question 1

Is Carnes Hill a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Carnes Hill is a predominantly residential south-west Sydney suburb in the Liverpool area, made up of relatively new brick homes and townhouses laid out around parks and sporting fields. The suburb centres on Carnes Hill Marketplace, providing everyday conveniences, and has public transport access via nearby South West Rail Link stations at Edmondson Park and Leppington, with arterial roads linking the area to the rest of the city. Its character is suburban and focused on contemporary housing and recreational amenities rather than historic streetscapes.

With a population of 3,332, a median age of 32 and a median household income of $2,630 a week, Carnes Hill is dominated by couple families with children (70% of families) and is mostly owner-occupied (82.6% of dwellings). The local precinct already includes a library, community centre, recreation centre, skate park, playground, outdoor courts and a public plaza, and a council-led aquatic and recreation centre is planned to add indoor pools, a learn-to-swim pool, a kids splashpad and later an outdoor 50 metre pool and multipurpose hall. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Carnes Hill?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Carnes Hill averaged $850 a week. Against a typical local household income of $2,630 a week at the last Census, that rent would take about 32.3% of a household's weekly income, roughly a third, which is a sizeable share. For renters, that is the key figure to consider. 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.
