The area is characterized by larger plots of land, often accompanied by picturesque landscapes of the surrounding Southern Highlands, making it attractive for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle away from the metropolitan hustle and bustle. The housing market in Penrose tends to attract buyers looking for holiday homes, retirees, or those interested in small-scale farming and hobby properties. Property prices have generally been more moderate compared to urban centers, making it an appealing destination for those who value space and tranquility.

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. Low average incomes in Penrose is reflected in smaller and lower quality accommodation. Over time this may change providsing long-term returns but in the short to medium term, prices are likely to be less than state averages. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Penrose changes the housing and lifestyle preference. It is more a matter of what can be afforded rather than what would we prefer, leading to slower price increases over time. Low population density implies low demand and limits housing choices and price increases. Could be a good entry point for first home buyers needing to somehow get into the market. With very low industrial sector presence in Penrose the focus is on lifestyle, driving specific demand around facilities, services, and open space. Most people are employed in service sectors with a higher than average proportion being able to work from home. This may incease demand over the medium term.
