Question 1

Is Ashton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Ashton is a small Adelaide Hills village with a rural character, set among rolling hills, orchards and pockets of native bush. The suburb is made up of hobby farms, established weatherboard cottages and newer country homes on leafy lanes, and daily life tends to move at a relaxed pace with local produce, garden pursuits and country drives a regular part of the week. It appeals to people after a quieter, garden-oriented lifestyle while still being able to access nearby hill towns such as Stirling and Basket Range.

With 481 residents and a median age of 51, Ashton is a community dominated by couples; couple families with and without children together make up about 92.5% of families. Homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied, and the median household income is $2,355 a week (roughly $122,460 a year). Lobethal Road is being upgraded under the Adelaide Hills Productivity and Road Safety Package and council work on Woods Hill Road has seen shoulder sealing, signage and line marking with further improvements planned. Whether Ashton suits you comes down to the pace of life and the kind of community you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Ashton?

Accepted Answer

Ashton 5137 hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so there isn't a clear picture of how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes. The median household income recorded at the most recent Census alone doesn't show whether housing costs are high or low for the suburb.

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