Question 1

Is Enmore a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Enmore feels like a creative inner-west pocket, centred on Enmore Road and the Enmore Theatre, where Victorian terraces and workers cottages sit alongside low-rise apartments. The population is small—3,871 people—with a median age of 35 and a median household income of $2,309 a week. Young professionals, students and creatives are common, and the strip’s cafes, bars, second-hand shops and live-music venues give the suburb a lively, walkable character. Frequent buses on Enmore Road and easy access to nearby Newtown’s shopping and train services make day-to-day errands straightforward.

Households are dominated by couples, together making up about 85% of families, and homes are slightly more likely to be rented (50.6%) than owner-occupied (49.3%). Local council work has added public-realm improvements such as temporary pedestrianised plaza space and a one-way cycle lane, alongside park and aquatic-centre upgrades and planned bike links. Whether Enmore suits you comes down to whether you’re after that inner-city, music-and-cafe scene and the mix of period housing and apartments it offers.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Enmore?

Accepted Answer

Buying in Enmore 2042 sits well above local incomes at the last Census. The median house price of $1,886,500 is about 15.7 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census (weekly income $2,309 × 52 = $120,068). For renters, a house at $1,025 a week would take about 44.4% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a large share, while a unit at $643 a week would take about 27.9%, a moderate share. On these figures, renting a unit looks more manageable than buying a house, but whether that 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.

Question 3

Is Enmore a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Units were the standout in Enmore over the past 12 months. Median unit values jumped 41.5%, and unit rents rose 19.1%, both large, strong increases, so on the units side capital growth outpaced rental income this year while rents also climbed strongly. Units outperformed houses on both value and rent growth.

House values rose 10.2% over the year, a strong rise, while house rents increased 5.1%, a solid rise. For houses the price increase was larger than the rent increase. Which of these movements matters to you depends on whether you prioritise capital growth or rental income and on your individual circumstances.
