Question 1

Is Basin View a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Basin View sits on the shores of St Georges Basin and has a low-key waterside character, with foreshore reserves, quiet streets, patches of coastal bush and a mix of single-storey family homes, holiday houses and some waterfront lots. Daily life here centres on boating, fishing and kayaking from local ramps and picnic spots, while shops and services are a short drive away in neighbouring centres. It appeals to families, retirees and sea-changers who want a laid-back coastal lifestyle with easy access to Jervis Bay and nearby national parkland.

The community numbers 1,583 people, with a median age of 48 and a median household income of $1,244 a week (roughly $64,700 a year). Nearly half of households are couple families without children, about one in three are couple families with children, and around four in five homes are owner-occupied while renters make up 19.3%. Local planning includes proposals in Corramy Regional Park to formalise a longer loop walk, upgraded walking tracks and canoe access; regional projects affecting the area include a proposed Princes Highway upgrade, a new Bay and Basin district library and a reconfigured Bay and Basin NSW Ambulance Station.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Basin View?

Accepted Answer

A house rented for $550 a week in Basin View would take about 44.2% of a typical local household's weekly income as recorded at the last Census. That is a large share of income, so for renters the weekly rent represents a substantial portion of what a typical household was earning at the last Census.

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

Is Basin View a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

If capital growth is the part of an investment you care about, that house-value movement is the number to note; whether it suits your plans depends on your own goals and circumstances.
