Question 1

Is Mays Hill a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mays Hill is a small, quiet residential pocket in Greater Western Sydney with a suburban, tree-lined character and mostly low-rise housing where older cottages sit alongside more recent brick homes on modest to generous blocks. It has 1,902 residents, a median age of 31, and a largely family-based community: couple families with children make up 50.6% of families and couple families without children a further 33.1%. Homes are predominantly rented (66.9%).

Everyday life centres on local parks and small convenience shops, with Mays Hill Reserve providing tennis courts and picnic facilities. Rail and bus links plus major roads make travel straightforward and keep Parramatta’s shops, hospitals and job centres within easy reach, which suits commuters. The suburb is part of a precinct master plan that proposes an aquatic centre and new walking and cycling connections, and there are also proposals and consultations for transport links, park upgrades and additional public housing. Whether Mays Hill suits you depends on the kind of community and access you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mays Hill?

Accepted Answer

Units in Mays Hill currently sit at a median of $600,000, which is about 5.6 times a typical local household's annual income as recorded at the most recent Census. On those figures, buying a unit sits somewhat above what local households earned at the last Census.

Rents run to about $750 a week for houses and $650 a week for units. Against a median household weekly income of $2,076 at the last Census, a house rent would take roughly 36.1% of that income and a unit rent about 31.3%, which are both a sizeable share of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census. Whether that feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances.

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 Mays Hill a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

The clearest story for Mays Hill over the past year is the jump in house prices: house values climbed 37.8% over the 12 months, a strong rise in what houses are worth. Unit values, by contrast, edged up 1.4%, a slight rise, so capital growth this year has been concentrated in houses rather than units. Whether that pattern suits your plans depends on your goals and circumstances.
