Question 1

Is Werrington County a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Werrington County is a quiet residential suburb in Penrith, characterised by established brick houses and tree-lined streets. With 3,698 residents and a median age of 37, the community is dominated by couple families and is mostly owner-occupied (80.6%), so it reads as an area of long-term residents and families. Local parks, playing fields and neighbourhood playgrounds are close to hand, and housing is largely single-family with pockets of newer infill and low-rise units.

Everyday needs are served by a small shopping strip and the Werrington County Shopping Village, while train services and motorway links connect commuters to greater Sydney and larger retail and entertainment in Penrith. The suburb is affected by a state-assessed "Werrington Precinct" rezoning proposal that would add homes, a local centre, public open space, conservation land and an investigation area for a future primary school; media reports note community concerns about open-space and wildlife impacts. Council records also note upgrade works to the local childcare centre and a public reserve on Dunheved Road.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Werrington County?

Accepted Answer

On the figures, renting a house in Werrington County at about $650 a week would take roughly 31.8% of a typical local household's weekly income as recorded at the most recent Census. That share is in the sizeable range, so for renters house costs would absorb a notable portion of local incomes as recorded at the most recent Census, and whether that feels expensive depends on your own 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 Werrington County a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

The clearest movement in Werrington County over the past year was a strong rise in house values, which climbed 17.6%. House rents increased more modestly, up 4.8% over the same 12 months, so on these figures capital growth for houses outpaced rental income. If rental income is your priority, that modest rent rise is the figure to watch; if capital growth matters more, the 17.6% lift in house values is the one to note. Whether that matches your goals and circumstances is for you to weigh.
