Raising kids is perhaps one of the most important things you’ll ever do in your adult life − coming with a whole new set of responsibilities you never imagined possible.
The environment that you live in is sure to make an impact on your children during their formative years, and it's no different for your tenants.
So why not choose to invest in a suburb that stimulates growth and development in children? If you’re looking for a great family-friendly suburb to invest in, here are some of the top suburbs for raising kids in Sydney.
Kogarah Bay
South of the CBD, Kogarah Bay is perhaps one of the best suburbs in Sydney to raise children because of its relaxed and quiet atmosphere, mingled with its beautiful parks and recreational facilities. With excellent schools, local shops, beaches and shopping facilities nearby, Kogarah Bay delivers an eclectic living proposition for young families looking to settle down with its clean, wide streets and stunning homes. And it's only a short drive or a train ride to the CBD for working parents.
Camden
Situated on the fringes of Sydney, Camden is a historic little town with period architecture that resembles a stunning English village. Camden features the best of both worlds — an easy trip to the bustling city with the feel of a beautiful country town. Camden has everything — from restaurants and shops to childcare and specialist doctors. With great schools and hospitals in the area, parents with young children will find this suburb an absolute treat. There are horse riding facilities, sports fields, gyms and a public pool available for residents to enjoy.

Situated along the Parramatta River, Melrose Park is one of Sydney’s suburban gems thanks to its large riverside parklands, great walking tracks, outstanding recreational facilities and excellent public transport links to the city. With a great school nearby and good healthcare facilities, most parents will find this a great suburb for bringing up kids. A fantastic golf course means that parents can enjoy Melrose Park just as much as kids do.
