Is Seven Hills a nice place to live?

Seven Hills is a well-established suburb in Sydney’s west centred on its railway station, with regular rail links into Parramatta and the city and convenient connections to major road routes.

A multicultural community of 20,095 people includes many families and commuters who use local shopping strips, small centres, cafes and community facilities.

Plenty of parks, sporting fields and local schools support a practical, family-oriented lifestyle, and a major civic program is under way to create a new community hub and library with upgrades to the nearby precinct and connections to the train station. There are also transport works around the station and a small social housing proposal lodged for the area.

A median house price of $1,207,500 is about 12.3 times a typical local annual household income as recorded at the last Census, which places house prices well above what a typical local household earned at that Census. Renting is less extreme but still takes a sizeable share of income: a house rent of $650 a week is about 34.4% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, and a unit rent of $610 a week is about 32.2%. If you are renting rather than buying, those rent-share figures are the most directly relevant to your situation. Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
