Question 1

Is Claymore a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Claymore is a practical, primarily residential suburb with modest single-storey homes, pocket parks and a local neighbourhood shopping centre, close to Campbelltown’s broader services. It has a relatively young population of about 2,579 people with a median age of 28, and a community where families are common — couple families with children account for 46.8% of families. Many residents rely on Campbelltown and Leumeah rail stations for regional travel and on surrounding centres for major shopping and health services.

The suburb is also in the middle of a staged renewal program that is replacing the former public housing estate with a mixed-tenure neighbourhood of around 1,600 homes, including around 30% social housing, new seniors buildings, upgraded open space and improved local roads and pedestrian and cycle links. With a high share of rented homes (73.5%), Claymore suits people after an uncomplicated, family-oriented lifestyle and those who value proximity to community facilities and the wider transport network; whether it suits you will depend on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Claymore?

If you're renting, that rent share is the figure that matters; whether it feels expensive will depend on your own income and circumstances.
