Surburb overview

Marayong is a quiet suburb in the local government area of the City of Blacktown. It is situated 38 kilometres from Sydney’s central business district.

Deemed a hidden gem by its residents, Marayong is a peaceful suburb that’s popular among first-time home buyers and families who want a safe neighbourhood for their kids. Residents rave about the warm and welcoming ambience of the Marayong local community where neighbours are friendly and security is not a problem.

Marayong is close to a wide array of amenities both within and outside the suburb (Blacktown is just a drive away), and one has a choice of both private and public schools to enrol in. The train station is nearby and transportation is overall efficient. Driving to Sydney by car takes no more than an hour.

Value-for-money properties

Marayong’s real estate prices are amenable to first-time home buyers as both property developers and the government offer first home owners’ grants for their perusal. NSW properties are noticeably climbing in terms of value and price, thus the government and realtors understand that home buyers need all the help they can get.

With or without these grants, however, Marayong’s property market is still inexpensive. A three-bedroom home with a spacious backyard is within reach, in comparison to what buyers can get in other suburbs.

Another advantage of living in Marayong is that it is one of the most affordable suburbs included in the National Broadband Network, which means residents get to benefit from a reliable internet connection. The suburbs of Berala, Blacktown, Regents Park, Mount Pritchard and Lurnea are also included in the same network.
