FAQs

How much to build a house in the Illawarra region?

New home builds across Australia cost between $1900 and $7500 per square metre. That’s a huge range, isn’t it? You can tip your new home cost towards the lower end of this scale by leveraging the expert-designed floorplans offered by high-quality builders like Rawson Homes.

Is the Illawarra a good investment?

The Illawarra is a sought-after location due to its relaxed regional living with easy access to beaches, lakes and national park beauty. Wollongong, the major centre of the Illawarra, provides health and higher-level education amenities and Sydney is not too far away when big city elements are wanted or needed.

Is the Illawarra expensive to live in?

If you’re someone who loves spending time in nature, your entertainment costs will be very low when living in the Illawarra! Costs such as groceries and fuel are similar to other regional NSW areas but you’ll save big time by focussing on family and health by enjoying the relaxed lifestyle, beaches and other nature that the Illawarra offers.
