Buying Investment Property in Wollongong
There really is a lot to love about Wollongong. From the picturesque coastline to the thriving hospitality and tourism industries, there is no shortage of things going on. It really is no surprise that the area has become so attractive to so many people.
However, this is a relatively new phenomenon. Not that long ago, Wollongong was seen as a gritty industrial town, dominated by mining and steel works. While it brought in people from all over the world, this was mostly due to the employment opportunities in the area.
With this in mind, the transformation Wollongong has undergone over the last few decades is truly amazing. Now, if you ask residents or regular visitors about the place, they will be much more complimentary. Whether they mention the beautiful beaches, buzzing cafes, or world-class University, they are sure to be optimistic about the area’s future.
And this optimism has been infectious, with Wollongong now seen as one of NSW’s leading lifestyle destinations. Sitting about 80km South of Sydney and with great transport links, it is a highly accessible and commutable location. Despite this, it still feels a world away, with its classically relaxed coastal vibe.
All of this makes Wollongong a great option for investors. However, with many areas still undergoing rejuvenation, properties need to be chosen carefully, with a clear focus on potential returns.

About the Wollongong Property Market
Ask almost any professional buyers agent about the Wollongong property market and you are sure to get a positive response. After years of being a modest performer, it has really gathered steam over the last decade or so. But, as is true for any area that’s undergone significant rejuvenation, the local property market remains varied.
While this can make finding a great investment property challenging, it also provides astute investors with plenty of opportunities. Long-range forecasts suggest sustained growth for Wollongong, which is great for those taking a longer-term view. But, knowing where to look – and when to buy – is critical.
If you are after growth potential, it is best to look for emerging suburbs that are still undergoing change. These areas tend to be fairly affordable and particularly popular with younger buyers, who see the long-term potential. Great local amenities and a notably more expensive neighbouring suburb are usually signs of an area with significant potential.
For those looking for great rental yields, suburbs in and around the University and CBD usually provide great opportunities. For example, West Wollongong and Coniston are highly desirable for renters thanks to their location. Similarly, properties in Corrimal, which is situated a little further North, tend to be relatively affordable and popular with renters.
