Question 1

Is South Windsor a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

South Windsor sits just south of Windsor's historic town centre in the Hawkesbury area and has a close relationship with the Hawkesbury River and its riverfront reserves. The streets mix older weatherboard cottages and brick family homes with pockets of more recent suburban development, and the neighbourhood appeals to long-standing locals and families who value space and a quieter pace.

It is a suburb of families, with couple families with children 39.6% and couple families without children 32.2%, a population of 5,948 and a median age of 34. Homes are mostly owner-occupied (54.9%) though renters make up 45.1%. Everyday needs are met by nearby shops, schools and recreational reserves, with public transport at Windsor station and major roads connecting to surrounding centres. Recent local and state projects have delivered town-centre public space and street greening upgrades, and there are transport and community works including a planned cycleway bridge, bridge and corridor improvements, Oasis Aquatic Centre upgrades and new lighting at Deerubbin Park. Whether South Windsor suits you depends on what you are looking for.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in South Windsor?

Accepted Answer

A median house price of $1,000,250 in South Windsor works out to about 13.1 times a typical local household's annual income as recorded at the most recent Census, which sits well above local incomes.

Rents are smaller but still substantial against that Census income: a house rent of $660 a week would take about 45.0% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a large share, while a unit rent of $440 a week would take about 30.0%, around a third and a sizeable share. On the figures, buying sits particularly far above local incomes, and renting would still claim a significant portion of a typical household's weekly income.

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 South Windsor a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months in South Windsor, median house values rose 11.8% while the rent for houses increased 6.5%. That means house capital growth (the price change) outpaced house rental growth this year, with values showing a strong rise and rents a solid rise. By contrast, unit rents fell 3.3% over the year, a modest decline, so the rental picture for units moved the opposite way to houses.

If rental income is your priority, the differing rent movements for houses and units are the most relevant figures; if capital growth matters more, the 11.8% rise in house values is the key number. Whether that combination matches your goals and circumstances is something only you can decide.
