Question 1

Is Barrington a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Barrington is a small rural village on the doorstep of Barrington Tops National Park, with forested high country, waterfalls and extensive bushwalking close by. Set among farmland and winding rivers, it functions more as an outdoors base than a typical suburb and is popular with trout fishers, hikers and people after a quieter pace. Housing is mainly older cottages and rural properties on larger blocks, and the community is centred on a modest village precinct with basic services and country roads linking to neighbouring towns and park trailheads.

With a population of 394 and a median age of 55, Barrington is a small, relatively settled place where families make up most households and homes are overwhelmingly owner occupied. There has been public-works activity to improve access toward the national park and to upgrade the village hall, reflecting its role as a local base for outdoor activity. Whether it suits you will come down to how much you value ready access to bushwalking and fishing, larger rural properties and a quieter, rural lifestyle.
