Question 1

Is Embleton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Embleton is a small, primarily residential suburb with tree-lined streets of mid-century cottages alongside an increasing number of contemporary townhouses. It is a community of 3,600 people with a median age of 37 and is weighted towards families, while home ownership makes up the majority of dwellings. The suburb has a quiet, low-key, lived-in character but appeals to families and professionals who value everyday convenience.

Local parks and neighbourhood shops are close at hand and the larger retail and civic precinct in Morley is within easy reach. Major road links and rail access via nearby Bayswater and Maylands stations make commuting straightforward. Recent local works tied to METRONET have added Morley station on the suburb boundary with a multi-storey car park and bus interchange, and Wotton Reserve now has a replacement skate and BMX facility funded by the State. The aquatic centre has been refurbished, and Embleton Primary School has had air-conditioning and mechanical services upgrades with school-holiday works planned; whether this mix suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Embleton?

Accepted Answer

Buying a house is the standout cost in Embleton. A median house price of $1,120,000 works out to about 11.9 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census, which sits well above local incomes. Renting a house at about $763 a week would take roughly 42.2% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a large share. On these figures, buying is particularly distant from what people locally earned at the last Census, and renting would also take a sizeable portion of income; whether that feels expensive depends on your own circumstances.

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 Embleton a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Embleton climbed 24.7% over the past 12 months, a strong rise, while house rents increased 13.0% over the year, also a strong gain. On the figures available, the house side delivered both capital growth and higher rental income during the year, with price growth outpacing rent growth.

If rental income is your priority, the 13.0% rent increase is the figure to focus on; if capital growth matters more, the 24.7% rise in values will be central to your decision. Whether those movements make Embleton the right investment for you depends on your goals and circumstances.
