Question 1

Is Raby a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Raby is an established, family-oriented suburb in south-west Sydney within the Campbelltown area. It has quiet streets of predominantly single-storey brick homes on modest blocks, with parks, neighbourhood sporting fields and nearby pockets of native bushland that give residents plenty of outdoor space. Local life centres on community facilities and everyday conveniences, while larger shopping, health services and rail connections are available in nearby Campbelltown. Straightforward road links and a practical housing mix mean it appeals to households looking for a mature, affordable residential pocket.

About 5,943 people live in Raby and the median age is 36. Most homes are owner-occupied, roughly four in five, with about 20.4 per cent rented, and the community is weighted towards couple families with children. Several council and state-funded projects are under way to improve roads, parks and sporting facilities, and design work for an indoor sports centre is being finalised. Whether Raby suits you will depend on the kind of suburb you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Raby?

Accepted Answer

At the current median house price of $1,058,500, buying a house in Raby works out to about 10.7 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census, which places buying well above local incomes. Renting a house at about $650 a week would take roughly 34% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share of income. On these figures renting looks the more manageable option compared with buying, but 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 Raby a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months, house values in Raby rose 8.3% and the rent those houses earn also rose 8.3%. In other words, capital growth and rental income for houses moved at the same rate over the year, so the house side showed matched gains in price and rent. Whether that pattern fits your needs depends on your own investment goals and circumstances.
