Why We Love the Macarthur Region

There’s a reason the Macarthur region is one of the fastest growing areas in Australia. It’s affordable, has plenty of amenities, and is just a short commute to Sydney city.

Macarthur Region Property Market

With the median house price surpassing $800,000, many young families and first-home buyers simply cannot afford to live in Sydney. This can be an issue, particularly if you work in the city. The Macarthur Region is much more affordable, and a quick and easy commute to Sydney.

The Macarthur Region is nowhere near as expensive as Sydney’s inner-city suburbs; the median house price in Campbelltown, for example, is $410,000. Because of this, the area attracts younger generations who are after space, affordability, amenities and convenience.

Many areas in the Macarthur Region are under an hour away from Sydney’s CBD on public transport. And, if your drive five minutes in the other direction, you end up in farmland. Because of this, there is so much variety on the property market. You’ll find cottages untouched since the 1960s, and brand new luxury homes. You’ll even find some historical buildings dating all the way back to the 1800s.

There is also so much undeveloped land, which means that as the area grows, new estates will pop up across the region.

Macarthur Region Amenities

Not only is the Macarthur region much more affordable than the rest of Sydney, it also has a range of new amenities.

• The Campbelltown Hospital is currently undergoing a $134 million redevelopment. We will see an increase in capacity, and an upgrade to the quality of health services available. This upgrade follows the increase in population of the area.
• The University of Western Sydney is currently the fifth largest university in Australia with over 40,000 students, and it has a campus in Campbelltown.
• The TAFE NSW Campbelltown College is another great education amenity in the Macarthur Region.
