Here Are 3 Reasons Why Western Sydney is the Best Place to Live in 2025
Once considered the “poor side of Sydney”, Western Sydney no longer has the stigma it used to have — it is now a destination in its own right. Here are the top reasons why Western Sydney is the place to be in 2025.
1. Affordable homes with character
With many new developments popping up all over metro Sydney and beyond, many of them with much smaller blocks, zero lots and narrow roads, Western Sydney stands out with its established suburbs, wide, large plots, and large roads that can fit four lanes of cars. Best of all, many of these houses are affordable and an excellent starter for the first homeowner to get their foot in the property market.
Suburbs such as St. Marys, Mt Druitt and Lethbridge Park are still affordable with many housing options with a median price of around $700,000 and plenty of amenities and established infrastructure, great for growing families and young homeowners.
With established suburbs close to schools, shopping centres, and recreational facilities, including the expansive Western Sydney Parklands and well-established transport links, it is the perfect area for first-time homebuyers looking for value and investors looking for long-term growth.
2. Infrastructure development
With an increasing population, Western Sydney is undergoing a transformation by way of significant infrastructure development, making the area an exciting destination for real estate investment. The key upcoming projects include:
· Western Sydney International Airport – this new airport is set to open in 2026 and will bring in significant economic growth and job opportunities in the region. Areas near the airport, such as Penrith, Blacktown, and Campbelltown, are expected to see a significant demand for housing and commercial properties.
· M12 Motorway – this motorway will connect the M7 Motorway to the Northern Road and provide access to the new airport. It will improve connectivity and reduce travel times, making surrounding suburbs more attractive to commuters.
· In addition to upgrading major roads such as the Northern Road and Bringelly Road, there will also be an injection of $200 million to upgrade numerous local roads, significantly improving infrastructure and enhancing overall liveability in the region.
3. Tourist attractions
Western Sydney is home to many popular tourist attractions and planned attractions for when the Western Sydney Airport is established. Current tourist attractions include:
· Western Sydney Parklands – with over 5,280 hectares of green space, this vast park offers a variety of activities such as hiking, biking, picnicking and wildlife encounters.
· Featherdale Wildlife Park and Sydney Zoo – this world-class tourist attraction is popular with local and international visitors, even Hollywood personalities! It’s a great place to get up close and personal with iconic Australian animals and is a great day out for families and groups.
· Blue Mountains – just under two hours from Western Sydney is the iconic tourist attraction Blue Mountains, where you will find stunning scenery, hiking trails, charming little towns and the world’s steepest railway. There is so much to see and do here, it makes for the perfect weekend getaway or romantic holiday.
· Raging Waters – this waterpark features giant water slides, wave pools and lazy rivers, perfect for families escaping the summer heat.
· Treetops Adventure Park – located in Western Sydney Parklands, this adventure park offers treetop climbing, zip lining and more. It’s the perfect place for adrenaline junkies and those with a love of the outdoors.
In addition to tourist attractions, Western Sydney is also a foodie paradise with suburbs such as Cabramatta, Harris Park and Lakemba, to name just a few, where visitors can experience the best multicultural cuisines without going overseas.
