Question 1

Is Georges Hall a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Georges Hall is a riverside, family-oriented suburb in south-west Sydney centred around Lake Gillawarna and its wetlands. It has tree-lined streets with predominantly single-storey post-war homes on generous blocks and pockets of newer infill, and residents make regular use of the foreshore reserves, walking paths, barbecue areas and local sports ovals. Local shops and schools cover everyday needs, and regular buses link to Bankstown train station and nearby shopping centres. The overall feel is low-key and community-minded, anchored by its riverfront green space.

Families make up the bulk of households, with couple families with children 53.3% and couple families without children 26.3%, and most homes are owner-occupied (an 80.4% combined outright and with mortgage share). Several local projects are active or proposed, from a road upgrade along Henry Lawson Drive to park improvements at Mirambeena and a proposed arrangement for the Dunc Gray Velodrome, and the Georges Hall Community Centre is available for hire. Whether it suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Georges Hall?

Accepted Answer

Buying a house in Georges Hall sits well above what a typical local household earned at the last Census. The median house price of $1,457,500 is about 15.7 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census, which places buying well above local incomes.

Rents are also a large share of local incomes: a house rent of $925 a week is about 51.8% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, while a unit at $650 a week is about 36.4%. If you're weighing up renting versus buying, those rent shares and the price multiple are the clearest figures to compare against local incomes.

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 Georges Hall a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

In Georges Hall over the past 12 months the house and unit markets moved in very different directions. Median house values climbed 10.8% while house rents rose 8.8%, so the house side showed both capital growth and higher rental income, with values increasing a little more than rents. By contrast, median unit values fell 31.0% while unit rents rose 18.2%, meaning unit rental income increased even as unit capital value declined.

If rental income is your priority, the 18.2% rise in unit rents and the 8.8% rise for houses are the figures to watch. If capital growth is what you care about, houses recorded 10.8% growth while units experienced a 31.0% drop. Whether those outcomes make Georges Hall the right investment for you depends on your objectives and circumstances.
