Impact of suburb name change on the value

G'day. It appears that GNB may approve new suburb names for some areas of the North West Sydney suburb named Schofields. Tallawong is one of the new names proposed. One would think that it is a favourable development for properies within the Tallawong boundary because it is named after an existing metro station and there is potential for faster commute to the metro station once interior roads are completed.

Property experts, any thoughts on the impact on buyer psychology, bank valuations, smaller suburbs limiting the supply of properties etc.

 

Bit farfetched.

 

Names matter. In Sydney, there are properties marketed as being in Newtown, when I suspect many are in Enmore. Similarly, there have long been Redfern properties marketed as being in Surry Hills or Darlington. There would be lots of similar examples in the outer west and south west.

 

There's a suburb in Canberra called "Downer" - it's been going up in value for a while now

A large chunk of Lucas Heights was rezoned to Barden Ridge
I had no idea when looking to buy in Barden Ridge that the only nuclear facility in Aus was so close

 

Names do matter.
I recall part of Burwood and Glen Iris in Melbourne had their boundaries changed and some of Burwood became Glen Iris. It was a boon for those as Glen Iris had a much better reputation

Getting a brand new name could be interesting. My username is Westminster and that is the suburb I first developed in. It was part of a suburb called Balga but when they put a highway through it they named one side of the of the highway Westminster and the other side remained Balga. Splitting them up benefitted Westminster

 

Names matter. Think about the values in Boronia Park when it got renamed Hunters Hill.

 

Warrawee was the preferred address rather than Turramurra when I was a working girl ...

 

In these new expanding areas between box hill / rouse hill and Marsden Park there will be a number of new suburbs. What isnt evident is what they will look like in 3, 5 or 15 years. Driving along the main road past The Ponds out to Ikea the other day it struck me that The Ponds is a well developed area with nice larger homes nicely landscpaed, water fountains etc with SUVs in driveways and double garages etc. . It has nearby land released with many (!!) blocks of chicken coop units and further back are streets of cookie cutter small dwellings by independent buiders without throught or regard for landscaping (flood detention basins !) and narrow streetscape devoid of trees with far less desirable sizes and spaces and open space etc. I can see this becoming the "bad side of the tracks"

It could be called Tallawong Heights but it wont improve it.

Shalvey, Wilmott & Claymore were created years ago as new suburbs for families and opportunities....Thats what the media said. In reality it became a circuit of suburbs that was lined with housing commission homes and social issue remain to this day.

LOL - I just googled claymore and the first search result was Dan Murphys. The second was Ivan Milats house at Eagle Vale.
