Question 1

Is Glenorie a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Glenorie is a semi-rural suburb on Sydney’s north-western fringe with a country village feel, rolling tree-lined streets and patches of native bush. A small village centre of shops and services anchors the community, while surrounding streets open out to hobby farms, horse properties and generous residential blocks alongside older cottages and newer family homes. Outdoor life often centres on riding, bushwalking and weekend market-style events, and most travel is by car with road links to neighbouring centres.

About 3,800 people live in Glenorie, with a median age of 42 and a typical household income of $2,524 a week. Families make up the bulk of households, with couple families with children the largest group and, together with couple families without children, accounting for about eight in ten families. Homes are mostly owner-occupied, and the suburb is in an active place-planning phase with proposals for modest village-centre change and local pedestrian and intersection improvements. Whether it suits you depends on how much you value a quieter, semi-rural lifestyle close to the city.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Glenorie?

Accepted Answer

Renting a house in Glenorie currently runs to about $845 a week. Against a typical local household income of $2,524 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, that rent would take roughly a third of income — about 33.5% — which is a sizeable share of a typical local household's weekly income 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 Glenorie a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

If you're weighing Glenorie as an investment, the house market is where the movement has been over the past year. Median house values climbed 15.1% — a strong rise — while house rents rose 8.3%, a solid rise. In other words, capital growth outpaced rental income over the 12 months, so the price movement was the stronger performer this year. Which of those outcomes matters most will depend on whether you prioritise price growth or rental cash flow.
