Question 1

Is Tallawong a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Tallawong is a north-west Sydney suburb centred on Tallawong Station. It is dominated by recent housing estates of modern detached homes and townhouses, with landscaped streets, small parklands and playgrounds that appeal to young families and first-home buyers. Local shops and community facilities meet day-to-day needs while larger retail and dining at nearby Rouse Hill are within easy reach. The metro connection and access to major arterial roads suit commuters and give the area a newly established suburban feel.

About 6,570 people live in Tallawong and the median age is 30. Families are prominent, with couple families with children accounting for 61.3% of families, and owner-occupation is more common than renting, at 60.8% owned and 39.2% rented. Tallawong is anchored by its metro station; the local public school has new permanent facilities, a new high school is planned for the area, and civil works together with state-led rezoning of the Tallawong Town Centre are preparing space for more homes, shops and public places.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Tallawong?

Accepted Answer

In Tallawong, buying a house sits notably above what local households earned at the last Census. A median house price of $1,241,000 is about 8.7 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, which is a high multiple. The median unit price of $705,000 is about 4.9 times annual household income, which is somewhat above what people locally earned at the last Census.

Looking at renting, the average house rent of $850 a week would take about 30.8% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share, while the average unit rent of $683 a week is about 24.8% of weekly income, a moderate share. Whether that 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.

Question 3

Is Tallawong a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Rental growth for houses has been the standout movement in Tallawong over the past year, rising 9.0%. House values climbed a solid 8.8% while unit values increased 7.2% and unit rents rose 5.1%. The rent a house earns marginally outpaced its price growth this year, and houses showed stronger movement than units on both value and rent measures.

If rental income is your priority, the house rent figure is the most relevant; if you are focused on capital growth, the value changes show both houses and units increased, with houses rising a little more. Whether that makes Tallawong the right investment for you depends on your goals and circumstances.
