Question 1

Is Gledswood Hills a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Gledswood Hills in south-west Sydney's Macarthur region is a relatively new, family-focused suburb of contemporary brick homes, low-maintenance detached houses and townhouses, with pocket parks, walking paths, ovals and playgrounds. Local shops and community amenities are nearby, and commuters commonly use Leppington station and surrounding motorways. It suits buyers seeking a quiet suburban lifestyle with access to schools, shops and open space.

The suburb is home to 6,112 people with a median age of 31, and couple families with children are the dominant household type. About three in four households own their home. A public high school is operating in temporary facilities while a permanent Gledswood Hills High School is being built. Council planning includes a Raby Road upgrade, The Crest open-space plan with a bike learn-to-ride course and mountain bike trail, plus developer-funded sports fields and a community facility, and planning for a Camden medical campus is underway.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Gledswood Hills?

Accepted Answer

A typical local household earned $2,780 a week at the last Census. At a median house price of $1,480,000, buying a house in Gledswood Hills works out to about 10.2 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census, which is well above those local earnings. Renting is relatively less stretched but still significant: the average house rent of $850 a week would take about 30.6% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share. If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure that matters.

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

Is Gledswood Hills a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months house values in Gledswood Hills climbed 12.5%, a strong rise, while the rent those houses earned increased 4.3%, a modest rise. That means capital growth on houses outpaced rental income growth over the year, so the price movement was the more prominent change for someone weighing a house here as an investment.
