Question 1

Is Windradyne a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Windradyne sits on the outskirts of Bathurst and is made up of modern detached homes and newer estate developments clustered around neighbourhood parks and playgrounds. It has a family-oriented, suburban feel while keeping Bathurst’s shops, services and cultural facilities within easy reach. Local schools, notably Bathurst West Public School, sporting fields and community facilities are all close by, and the backdrop of rolling hills and open countryside gives the streets a more spacious, semi-rural character.

Home to 3,309 people with a median age of 37 and a median household income of $1,567 a week, Windradyne is weighted towards families and is mostly owner-occupied (about seven in ten dwellings) with roughly 30% rented. Council planning has identified a neighbourhood activity centre for the precinct, regional transport changes linked to the Great Western Highway closure have brought extra NSW TrainLink coach and rail services for the Bathurst area, and the nearby Bathurst Health Service is the subject of a planned $200 million hospital redevelopment. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you’re looking for in a regional suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Windradyne?

Accepted Answer

Buying a house in Windradyne 2795 works out to about 9.8 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census, based on a median house price of $800,000, which sits well above local incomes. Renting a house at about $600 a week would take roughly 38.3% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share. If you are renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure that matters.

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 Windradyne a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Windradyne jumped a strong 13.2% over the past year, while median house values rose a solid 5.6% in the same period. In other words, the rent a house earns increased faster than its price this year, so rental income was the stronger performer on the houses side.

Which of those numbers matters most depends on your aims: if rental income is your focus, the stronger rent growth is more relevant; if you prioritise capital growth, the 5.6% rise is the figure to note. Whether that balance suits you depends on your goals and circumstances.
