Question 1

Is West Hoxton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

West Hoxton is a family-focused suburb in south-west Sydney with a suburban, low-rise streetscape of mostly modern detached homes on medium-sized blocks. Life there centres on quiet residential streets, local parks and sporting fields, with neighbourhood shops, childcare and schools for everyday needs. Transport is car-friendly, with bus links to nearby centres and straightforward access to major roads, so larger retail and employment precincts are within easy reach. The overall feel is practical and residential, and it suits people looking for more space than inner-city living provides.

Couple families with children are the dominant family type, making up 64.4% of families. Couple families without children account for 18.4%, one-parent families 16.4% and other families 0.8%. In raw counts that is 1,691 couple families with children, 482 couple families without children, 431 one-parent families and 20 other families.

The suburb has a population of 10,152 and a median age of 34. Typical households report a median total weekly income of $2,468, which is roughly $128,336 a year.

In West Hoxton, owner-occupation is the clear majority: about four in five homes are owner-occupied (27.3% owned outright and 55.5% owned with a mortgage), while 17.2% of dwellings are rented.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in West Hoxton?

Accepted Answer

On the figures for West Hoxton, a median house price of $1,400,000 is about 10.9 times a typical local household's annual income as recorded at the most recent Census (weekly household income $2,468 ? annual $128,336). Renting a house at about $810 a week would take roughly 32.8% of that typical local household's weekly income, or about a third. In other words, buying sits well above what local households earned at the last Census, while renting would take a sizeable share of a typical local household's income.

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 West Hoxton a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House rents rose 2.5% over the same period, a modest increase, so on the house figures price growth outpaced rental growth this year.
