Sutherland is 30 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district and is the administrative centre for the local government area. Walk to shops and the train station and close to beaches, a National Park, Wononora River and Miranda Westfield.
It has achieved just over 6% growth since the start of 2016 (a ‘down’ market). But over the last 10 years it has achieved growth of over 60%. Time to start rising perhaps. Only 0.37% of properties in the suburb are currently on the market which shows there is very limited stock available.
Units are the most common dwelling style dominating the suburb along with a variety of older & newer semi-detached dwellings. 58% of dwellings in the area are units. 25% are Houses, 11% semi-detached and 6% other/commercial.
Age mix for the suburb is 0 to 29 yo is 36%, 30 to 49 yo is 31%, 50 & above is 34% so it’s a very attractive suburb for families and retirees.
