As city migration grows, Jamberoo offers a blend of rural life and urban access

Amid an increase in young families migrating from cities to rural and regional areas across Australia, Jamberoo emerges as an attractive destination for millennials seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing urban amenities. The upcoming Golden Valley Jamberoo subdivision is set to meet this growing demand while preserving the village's cherished character.


Recent data from CoreLogic reveals a 12.5% increase in regional house prices over the past year, outpacing capital cities. This trend, driven by internal migration and the rise of remote work, has put pressure on many regional communities. Jamberoo's strategic development plans aim to accommodate newcomers while maintaining its small-town charm.



Jennifer Macquarie of the Fountaindale Group, the developer behind Golden Valley Jamberoo, says, "We're creating a space where families can build their own legacies, much like our family has done for five generations. It's about maintaining Jamberoo's essence while allowing it to thrive."


The project promises to boost the local economy while offering a unique living experience. With its strong sense of community and access to nature, Jamberoo is attracting increasing interest from city-dwellers, young couples planning families and parents with young children. 



Its proximity to Wollongong (26km) and Sydney (94km) allows residents to enjoy a country village lifestyle without sacrificing access to quality services, education opportunities, and family connections in the city.

Lawson Fredericks, co-head of the Fountaindale Group, adds, "We want to provide families the opportunity to experience the same supportive, safe environment we enjoyed growing up in Jamberoo, while still being connected to major urban centres."


As regional Australia grapples with growth, Jamberoo's approach could serve as a model for other communities. By balancing development with preservation, the village is positioning itself as a prime destination for those seeking a rural lifestyle with urban conveniences.


Spacious 800m² lots will go on sale early in 2025. To register your interest, visit goldenvalleyjamberoo.com.au.
