Question 1

Is Greenleigh a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Greenleigh is a residential suburb on the outskirts of Queanbeyan set on gently undulating ground with pockets of native bush and some elevated streets. Housing is largely modern detached homes and recent estates that appeal to families, downsizers and commuters working in Canberra, and the suburb has an established but relatively young feel with tree-lined streets, local open space and a suburban outlook that blends into surrounding bushland. Main arterial roads give straightforward links to the wider region and Queanbeyan’s shops and services are readily accessible.

It’s a small community of 676 people with a median age of 50, dominated by couple families (together about nine in ten families) and with high owner-occupation (94.3% owned outright or with a mortgage). Several water-infrastructure projects are approved or progressing nearby, and a planning agreement will rehabilitate about 47.2 hectares and dedicate roughly 8.7 hectares of active open space with funds for embellishment plus monetary contributions for offsite infrastructure. The completed Ellerton Drive extension also provides an emergency egress at Lonergan Drive. Whether Greenleigh suits you depends on what you’re looking for in a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Greenleigh?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Greenleigh to publish reliable price and rent figures. Without current prices or rents, there's no clear way to say how expensive it is to live in Greenleigh compared with 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 Greenleigh a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Greenleigh climbed 13.7% over the past year, a strong rise in what houses are worth. That figure reflects capital growth over the 12 months; the figures don't give a clear picture of rental income or the unit market, so whether that emphasis on capital growth suits your goals and circumstances is for you to decide.
