Daisy Hill has a leafy, low-density character centred on Daisy Hill Conservation Park and its koala habitat, which gives the suburb a strong bushland feel. Streets are lined with mature trees and housing ranges from established family homes on generous blocks to pockets of more recent suburban housing, so it appeals to families and anyone who values outdoor space. The community is largely owner-occupied (about 76.3%), families form the core with couple families with children the largest group (45.6%), and the suburb is home to 6,925 people with a median age of 38 and a median household income of $2,004 a week.

Everyday needs are covered by a neighbourhood shopping strip and nearby retail centres, and the area is served by a local rail station and main road links. A planned upgrade to the M1 corridor proposes motorway widening, smart-motorway technology, an extension of the South East Busway with new stations and park-and-ride, a Veloway cycleway extension and major interchange works. The conservation park has also seen stage two improvements—better disability access, extra parking including horse-float parking, new trail-hub amenities and upgraded mountain-bike and walking tracks, plus additional land purchased to expand the park. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

In Daisy Hill, a median house price of $1,355,000 works out to about 13.0 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, which places buying well above what households there earned at that time. The average house rent of $723 a week would take around 36% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share, so on these figures renting looks less stretched than buying.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

The clearest movement in Daisy Hill over the past year is on the house side: median house values rose 10.5%, a strong increase. House rents also climbed, up 6.3% over the year, a solid rise, so capital growth outpaced rental income for houses during this period.

For someone weighing Daisy Hill up as an investment, the 10.5% figure speaks to capital growth while the 6.3% figure is the one that matters for rental income; which of those matters more will depend on your own goals and circumstances.
