Question 1

Is Bees Creek a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Bees Creek is a rural-residential locality on Darwin’s outer fringe, made up of large acreage lots, hobby farms and equestrian properties clustered around the creek. It suits people after a country-style lifestyle with space for gardens, animals and sheds while keeping access to regional services in nearby Howard Springs and Coolalinga and commuter routes into Darwin and Palmerston. Housing is mainly single-storey homes and rural outbuildings set among open bushland and native vegetation, with abundant birdlife and a quiet, country atmosphere rather than an urban one.

The community of 803 people has a median age of 41 and a typical household income of $2,258 a week. The area leans strongly towards families and is mostly owner-occupied, with 86.9% of homes owned and 13.2% rented. For local employment and training there is the NCCTRC Bees Creek Training Facility, and government works at the Stuart Highway and Bees Creek Road intersection are underway to improve turning lanes, culverting, barriers and lighting. Whether Bees Creek suits you comes down to whether you want space and a rural way of life with those nearby services.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Bees Creek to publish reliable house or unit prices or typical rents. With only a median total household income of $2,258 a week recorded at the most recent Census available, it isn't possible to say how expensive housing is here compared with what local 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.
