Question 1

Is Windaroo a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Windaroo is a quiet, lakeside pocket in Logan's southern suburbs, centred on a chain of small lakes, parkland and walking paths that give the area a relaxed, outdoor feel. It is mainly low-density residential with detached family homes on medium to generous blocks, a mix of older houses and more recent builds. Local parks and daily conveniences sit inside the neighbourhood and larger shopping and transport hubs are a short drive away.

With 2,771 people, a median age of 40 and a typical household income of $2,110 a week, Windaroo is a suburb of families and owner-occupiers: 86.4% of homes are owner-occupied. Schools on the suburb’s fringe include Windaroo State School and Windaroo Valley State High School. That combination makes it a calm, suburban choice for people after water or green views and a predominantly owner-occupied community; whether it suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Windaroo?

Accepted Answer

On the figures, housing in Windaroo sits high against local incomes recorded at the most recent Census. The median house price of $1,120,000 is about 10.2 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census (weekly income $2,110 × 52 = $109,720), which places buying well above local incomes. Renting a house at around $855 a week would take roughly 40.6% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a large share, so renting also represents a significant portion of local earnings. 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 Windaroo a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Windaroo climbed 15.7% over the past 12 months, a strong rise in what a house here is worth. Over the same period, house rents edged up 0.6%, a marginal increase in rental income. The figures show that capital growth was the larger movement for houses this year while rental income changed very little, and whether that balance suits your investment goals depends on your personal circumstances.
