Question 1

Is Big Hill a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Big Hill is a semi-rural locality on the southern rim of Bendigo, set among rolling ridgelines and remnant box-ironbark bushland that give it an elevated, outlook-driven character. The area is made up of larger rural residential blocks and hobby farms alongside a handful of modern homes, so properties tend to offer space, privacy and native outlooks rather than a suburban streetscape. Life is quiet and country oriented, with local walking and birdwatching on nearby bush reserves, while everyday shopping, schools and health services are accessed in nearby Bendigo; the Calder and Midland highways traverse the locality.

It is a small community of 281 people with a median age of 37 and a median household income of $1,771 a week. The suburb is weighted towards couple families — 59.2% are couple families with children and, together with couple families without children (28.2%), couples make up about 87% of families — and homes are mostly owner-occupied (85.1% owner-occupied, 14.9% rented). Big Hill has no significant new infrastructure projects reported and is served locally by Big Hill Primary School. Whether this quiet, spacious setting suits you depends on what you want from a home and neighbourhood.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Big Hill?

Accepted Answer

Big Hill 3555 hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without those price and rent figures, there's no clear way to say how expensive housing is here compared with the typical local household income as recorded at the most recent 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 Big Hill a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Big Hill hasn't had enough recent sales or rent data to publish reliable figures for how house or unit values and rents changed over the past year. Without those figures, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment during that period.
