Over the previous ten years St Marys, Plumpton and surrounding suburbs have seen great changes. From the boom during the late 1990′s, the implementation of the GST which also encouraged home prices to rise prior to its commencement and the Government first home buyers and first home builders grants have all been major contributors for home owners gaining more for their properties.

Western Suburbs has grown tremendously with improved roads and transport, community halls and organisations serving its residents and guests. Tourism has also boosted in the last few years as a result of the 2000 Olympics benefiting the Western Suburbs, as we now have first class international facilities with these venues at the disposal of the public.

St Marys and Plumpton area is central to many attractions such as the Nepean River, the spectacular attractions of the Blue Mountains and only a short 40 minute drive along the M4 and M7 motorway to Sydney City and Sydney Airport.

It is no wonder that St Marys, Plumpton and surrounding suburbs have always remained popular to first home buyers, investors and owner occupiers with the prices as of 2006 starting from $130,000 for some walk up units to $180,000 for a basic home.
