Gables Oakville

Gables and Oakville are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Gables is a young, highly educated hub where the typical resident is 32 and 41.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It has a large proportion of families, with 29.9% of people being children under 15, and a high number of residents born overseas (37.9%). In contrast, Oakville is older, with a typical resident aged 44 and a much larger share of seniors at 20.5%. Home ownership also differs sharply; 52.9% of Oakville homes are owned outright, while Gables is dominated by mortgages (71.3%).

These two places have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with Gables becoming a fast-growing area where 93.3% of people moved in the last five years. Despite this, they share some basic commonalities, such as having almost the same typical weekly rent of $600 and similar house sizes, with most homes in both areas having three or more bedrooms. They also sit at the same distance from the city, with a drive time of about 38 to 39 minutes.
