Question 1

Is Sutton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Sutton is a small rural village on the Southern Tablelands with a quietly country character. It sits among rolling farmland and ribbons of native eucalypt bush, and housing ranges from weatherboard cottages and village homes to acreages and hobby farms. There is easy driving access to Canberra, so it suits people after a relaxed rural pace while remaining connected to city work and services. Outdoor life in Sutton centres on country pursuits, bushwalking and the open rural landscape.

The community numbers 1,556 people with a median age of 44 and a median household income of $3,044 a week. Families make up the large majority of households, and about five in six homes are owner-occupied. Local facilities are modest but include Sutton Public School, a K–6 government primary school, while major shopping and health services are found in nearby towns or the city. There are no significant new public infrastructure or civic amenity projects reported at this time.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Sutton?

Accepted Answer

In Sutton, a typical local household earned $3,044 a week at the last Census. A house renting for $650 a week would take about 21.4% of that weekly income, which is a moderate share of a typical local household's earnings at the last Census. If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the number that matters when judging how expensive the suburb is for you.

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 Sutton a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

If rental income is your priority, note that house rents in Sutton fell sharply over the past 12 months, down 14.8%. That decline is the figure that matters for the rent a house would earn, and whether it suits your plans depends on your own goals and circumstances.
