Question 1

Is Sawyers Valley a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Sawyers Valley sits in the Perth Hills within the Shire of Mundaring, a rural-residential pocket set among jarrah and marri bushland in the Darling Range foothills. Properties range from older weatherboard cottages to larger acreage blocks and newer homes, and the suburb appeals to people after a quieter, bushland lifestyle while remaining within reach of the metropolitan area. A modest village centre provides basic shops and community facilities, and the neighbourhood is a gateway to walking and mountain biking on nearby state forest and the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail that follows the old Eastern Railway corridor.

Sawyers Valley is a community of 1,001 people with a median age of 46 and a median total household income of $1,845 a week, roughly $95,940 a year.

Families are largely made up of couples: 44.9% are couple families with children and 42.9% are couple families without children, together accounting for about 88% of families. One-parent families represent 12.2% of the family mix.

Homes in Sawyers Valley are predominantly owner-occupied, with 41.6% owned outright and 49.2% owned with a mortgage, so roughly nine in ten dwellings are owner-occupied while 9.2% are rented.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Sawyers Valley?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Sawyers Valley to publish reliable current house or unit prices or rents. The ABS recorded a median total household income of $1,845 a week at the most recent Census, but without current price or rent figures it isn't possible to say how expensive living in Sawyers Valley is 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.
