Question 1

Is Bass a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Bass is a quiet rural township on the Bass Coast set beside the Bass River and framed by paddocks, gums and pockets of bushland. The village has a modest centre of shops and services and feels more country than coastal, while nearby beaches and Phillip Island are within easy reach for weekend recreation. Housing ranges from older weatherboard cottages and farmhouses to more recent homes on generous blocks, attracting families, retirees and people after a sea change. River corridors and local reserves make for easy bush and birdwatching, and road links connect Bass to neighbouring coastal towns and facilities.

It is a small community of 405 people with a median age of 49 and a family profile weighted towards couples without children (50.9%), then couples with children (36.1%) and one-parent families (13.0%). Median household income is $1,262 a week (about $65,600 a year), and 86.4% of homes are owner-occupied while renters make up 13.6%, so owner-occupiers outnumber renters by about six to one. Local amenities include the Bass Recreation Reserve, home to the Kilcunda-Bass Football Netball Club, and the Bass Valley Community Centre. There are no significant new infrastructure or development projects in Bass at this time.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Bass?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Bass (3991) to publish reliable house, unit or rent figures. With only the local median household income recorded at the most recent Census ($1,262 a week), there's not enough information to say how expensive it is to live in Bass compared with what households earned 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.

Question 3

Is Bass a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales in Bass (3991) to publish reliable figures on how house or unit prices and rents moved over the past year. Because of that, there isn't a clear picture from the available data of how Bass has performed as an investment lately.
