Question 1

Is Araluen a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Araluen is a small rural village near Braidwood in the Araluen Valley, surrounded by native bush, winding creeks and a clear gold-rush heritage.

The community is older, with couples without children at home and 54.9% of homes owned outright. Local life centres on outdoor activities, farming and access to the bush, and regional roads link residents to shops and services in nearby towns; the Jembaicumbene Bridge Replacements on Araluen Road were completed, replacing three timber bridges with concrete two-lane bridges.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Araluen?

Accepted Answer

A typical household in Araluen earned $1,042 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Araluen to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so it's not possible to say from these figures how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
