Question 1

Is Gledhow a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Gledhow is a semi-rural locality on the outskirts of Albany with rolling farmland, pockets of native bush and large residential blocks that give a country feel close to the city. It appeals to people after space and tranquillity, including hobby farmers, families wanting yards and older residents seeking a quieter setting. The community numbers 1,079 people, with a median age of 41 and a typical household income of $1,473 a week (about $76,596 a year). Homes are predominantly owner-occupied, with 38.0% owned outright and 46.2% owned with a mortgage, and 15.8% rented.

Local services are limited, so residents rely on Albany for shopping, schools and health care, while the region’s coastline and national parks are within easy reach for outdoor recreation. The Albany Ring Road, officially Menang Drive, runs through and beside Gledhow and construction work brought local impacts such as noise and vibration during the works. The suburb contains the small, gazetted Gledhow Nature Reserve, which has not been the subject of separate council or state upgrade projects. Whether this setting suits you depends on what you are looking for in a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Gledhow?

Accepted Answer

Gledhow hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without current price or rent data, it's not possible to say how expensive living in Gledhow is compared with what a typical local household earned at the last Census.

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 Gledhow a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months house values in Gledhow edged down 1.8%, a slight fall in the capital value of houses over the year. For someone weighing Gledhow as an investment, that figure speaks to capital movement on the house side.

There isn't enough recent data to show how unit values or rents have moved, so the single available figure only reflects house prices. Whether this matters to you will depend on whether your priorities are capital growth or rental income.
