Accepted Answer

Glenfield Park is a family-focused residential suburb in Wagga Wagga's south-west with broad streets, parks and a strong emphasis on outdoor sport. The area is largely low-density, with single-storey brick homes and newer estate pockets that suit people after larger blocks and quieter streets. Everyday needs are met by a compact shopping village, schools and community facilities, while ovals, playgrounds and walking paths put recreation close to home. Local roads and bus routes provide straightforward links back to the Wagga Wagga centre.

About 5,078 people live in Glenfield Park and the median age is 35. Families are prominent, with couple families with and without children making up the majority, and most homes are owner-occupied (63.8%) while 36.3% are rented. Local services include the Glenfield Community Centre, Glenrock Country Practice and Glenfield Park Oval.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Glenfield Park?

Accepted Answer

A median house price of $700,000 in Glenfield Park works out to about 8.9 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, so buying sits in the high multiple range against local incomes. On the rental side, a house at $560 a week would take about 37.1% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, which is a sizeable share, while a unit at $450 a week would take about 29.9%, a moderate share.

Whether that feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances, and on whether you are looking to rent or buy, since the two measures speak to different choices.

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