Question 1

Is Berrima a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Berrima is a compact heritage village in the Southern Highlands, sitting in the Wingecarribee River valley and framed by working farms and rolling highland countryside. Its 19th-century sandstone main street, centred on the historic courthouse and old gaol, is lined with cafes, antique shops and small galleries that sustain a preserved village atmosphere. Housing ranges from Georgian cottages and converted outbuildings to nearby rural properties, making it appealing to those after a quieter country lifestyle or a weekend retreat. Regional roads keep larger towns and rail services within easy reach.

The community is small — 813 people with a median age of 52 — and the household mix is dominated by couple households, many owner-occupied. Several local projects are planned or under way, including the Moss Vale Bypass with an additional railway crossing and a shared active-transport link to the Bong Bong cycle track, redevelopment proposals for the former correctional centre often called the Berrima Gaol or The Berrima Quarter, and a local Berrima Road curve-improvement project. Whether Berrima suits you depends on if you want a compact, heritage village and a quieter country lifestyle.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Berrima?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Berrima to publish reliable house and unit prices or rents. The ABS recorded a median total household income of $2,100 a week at the most recent Census, but without current price or rent figures it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in Berrima compared with local incomes.

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

Is Berrima a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer
