Question 1

Is St Johns Park a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

St Johns Park is a residential south-west Sydney suburb with a settled, multicultural character and an everyday suburban feel. Streets are largely single-storey brick homes with established gardens, while pockets of newer townhouses and low-rise units appear near the main roads. The area is family oriented, with local parks, sporting fields and community facilities close at hand, plus a compact shopping strip and eateries that reflect the suburb’s diverse communities. Regular bus routes serve the suburb and nearby train stations and larger shopping centres are within easy reach for everyday errands.

About 6,302 people live in St Johns Park and the median age is 43. Families make up the bulk of households, and most homes are owner-occupied (78.6%). Recent local works have improved pedestrian access and there has been maintenance at St Johns Park High School, while a major nearby civic project, the Fairfield Hospital Redevelopment, includes a new clinical services building and a multi-storey car park that is under way. Whether St Johns Park suits you depends on the type of neighbourhood you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in St Johns Park?

Accepted Answer

House rents average $720 a week in St Johns Park. Against a typical local household income of $1,567 a week as recorded at the last Census, that rent would take about 46% of a household's weekly income, which is a large share.

If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the number that matters; whether it 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.

House rents rose 5.9% over the year, a solid increase, so on the house side capital growth outpaced rental income.
