Question 1

Is The Slopes a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

The Slopes sits in the Hawkesbury hills near Kurrajong and Kurrajong Heights, a semi-rural suburb of undulating bushland, cleared paddocks and outlooks across the Hawkesbury valley towards the Blue Mountains. Housing is dominated by standalone homes on generous lots, from older cottages to contemporary rural residences set among native trees and small holdings. Local shops and cafes are a short drive away, and residents make the most of nearby bushwalking and scenic country vistas. It attracts people after a country lifestyle, including families and hobby farmers who want larger land parcels while keeping access to town services in Kurrajong, Richmond and Windsor.

The Slopes is a small community of 327 people with a median age of 45. The typical household income is $2,272 a week, roughly $118,100 a year.

Families are the dominant family type. Couple families with children make up 45.4% and couple families without children 44.3%, together accounting for 89.7% of families. One-parent families represent 10.3% of the family's mix.

Homes in The Slopes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied: 46.1% are owned outright and 48.0% are owned with a mortgage, for a combined owner-occupier share of 94.1%, while renters account for 5.9%.
