Question 1

Is Ashford a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Ashford is a small rural village on the edge of the New England region near the Queensland border and functions as a service centre for surrounding grazing and cropping country. Life is centred on a quiet main street, a general store, a pub and community facilities, with a mix of older weatherboard and brick houses alongside larger acreage properties. Residents are drawn to a relaxed country lifestyle with ready access to bushland, rivers and farmland for fishing, riding and camping, and the town supports a steady rhythm of schools, sporting clubs and agricultural events.

With a population of 659 and a median age of 54, Ashford is a largely owner-occupied community (78.1% owner-occupation). Local services include Ashford Central School, which has a confirmed upgrade to its air conditioning, Ashford Hospital with full accreditation, and a community health service providing primary care. That combination of outdoor access, local schools and community facilities tends to suit people after a settled rural service town; whether Ashford is right for you depends on what you want from a place to live.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Ashford?

Accepted Answer

Ashford (NSW 2361) hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. Its median total household income at the last Census was $855 a week, but without current price or rent figures it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live here 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.
