Question 1

Is Kenthurst a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Kenthurst is a semi-rural suburb in the Hills District with a roomy, green character and a relaxed village feel. Streets are dominated by large residential blocks, hobby farms and equestrian properties, with pockets of remnant orchards and plant nurseries. A small village centre along the main road provides everyday shops and cafés, while community facilities, sports fields and bush reserves support a family-oriented, outdoor lifestyle. Residents tend to value space and country-style living and easy road access to neighbouring centres rather than dense urban amenities or heavy public transport.

Families are the dominant household type: 54.6% are couple families with children and 36.0% are couple families without children, so together they make up about nine in ten family households (90.6%). One-parent families represent 8.7% and other family types 0.7%.

The suburb has a population of 5,313, a median age of 44 and a median total household income of $3,061 a week, roughly $159,200 a year.

Homes in Kenthurst are overwhelmingly owner-occupied: 49.9% are owned outright and 40.1% are owned with a mortgage, a combined 90.0%, while 10.0% of dwellings are rented.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Kenthurst?

Accepted Answer

In Kenthurst, house rents run to about $900 a week. Against a typical local household income of $3,061 a week at the last Census, that rent would take roughly 29.4% of a household's weekly income, which sits in the moderate share band. If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure that matters for comparing housing costs to local incomes 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 Kenthurst a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Kenthurst climbed 41.4% over the past 12 months, a strong rise in what a house here is worth. Over the same period house rents fell 10.0%, a sharp decline in the rental income those properties earn.

For someone weighing Kenthurst as an investment, the value figure speaks to capital growth while the rent figure speaks to rental income, and here they point in opposite directions. Whether that balance suits you depends on your own goals and circumstances.
