Question 1

Is Middle Dural a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Middle Dural is a semi-rural suburb in Sydney's Hills region with rolling bushland, orchard remnants and a patchwork of paddocks and acreage blocks. Streets are often tree-lined and quiet, and housing ranges from older farmhouses and renovated cottages to larger modern homes, so it suits families and people who want space and a country feel while still accessing nearby suburban services. The community is small, with 1,040 people, a median age of 46 and a median total household income of $3,067 a week (roughly $159,500 a year). Homes are predominantly owner-occupied, about nine in ten (88.6%), and families are concentrated among couples.

Retail within Middle Dural is limited, so residents typically travel to surrounding centres for shopping and transport and car travel is the norm. There is focus on Old Northern Road and nearby intersections through road works and planning proposals that aim to improve streetscape, active and public transport and accessibility, including a $1.1 million offer to contribute to public-benefit works in the Dural locality. Middle Dural Public School on Old Northern Road is the local government primary school and has taken part in the statewide LED lighting upgrade program.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Middle Dural?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Middle Dural run to $900 a week. Against a typical local household income of $3,067 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, that rent would take about 29.4% of a household's weekly income. That sits in the moderate range of income share and is close to the commonly used 30% marker for housing costs; if you're renting, that rent share is the number that matters when judging how stretched a household's budget might be.

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