Question 1

Is Werrington Downs a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Werrington Downs is a quiet, largely residential suburb with a suburban, family-oriented feel. Tree-lined streets, small parks and mostly single-storey brick homes — some updated, with pockets of newer infill — give it an established, settled character. The community of 3,221 has a median age of 36 and a typical household income of $2,139 a week, and the area is weighted towards couple families. Owner-occupation is common, which points to a largely settled neighbourhood rather than a transient one.

Day-to-day life centres on local schools, shops and surrounding reserves for walking and weekend play, with larger retail and dining a short drive away in Penrith. Public transport and arterial roads are within reach. Jim Anderson Park has recently been upgraded with a castle-themed playspace and further work on the park is planned, and the Werrington Downs Neighbourhood Centre has been refurbished with improved accessibility for programs and hire.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Werrington Downs?

Accepted Answer

Renting a house in Werrington Downs at about $660 a week would take roughly 31% of a typical local household's weekly income as recorded at the most recent Census, which is a sizeable share of income. If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure that matters and whether it feels expensive will depend 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 Werrington Downs a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

The recent picture for Werrington Downs is dominated by the house market. Median house values jumped 19.8% over the past 12 months, a strong rise in what houses are worth, while the rent those houses earn edged up 1.5%, a slight increase in rental income. In short, capital growth outpaced growth in rental income over the year, and which matters more will depend on whether you prioritise price appreciation or rental cash flow.
