Question 1

Is Yellow Rock a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Yellow Rock sits up on the valley slopes of the lower Blue Mountains beside Winmalee and Springwood. It is a bushland-fringed, semi-rural suburb with larger lots and rural-residential blocks, many homes set among native trees and ridgelines that provide bush and valley outlooks. Recreation centres on walking tracks, reserves and river corridors, and the area attracts people wanting more space and an outdoor lifestyle while keeping access to nearby town centres for shops and services.

Yellow Rock is a community of 1,119 people with a median age of 42. The typical household has a weekly income of $2,635, roughly $137,020 a year.

Families make up the bulk of the community: couple families with children are the largest group at 48.1%, and couple families without children are 43.8%. Together those two groups account for 91.9% of families. One-parent families represent 6.7% and other families 1.4%.

Homes in Yellow Rock are overwhelmingly owner-occupied: 92.3% are owned (36.4% owned outright and 55.9% owned with a mortgage), while 7.7% are rented.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Yellow Rock?

Accepted Answer

For Yellow Rock there haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices or average rents, so it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes at the last Census. The ABS median total household income at the last Census was $2,635 a week, but that single figure on its own doesn't let us judge housing costs in the suburb.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
