Question 1

Is Birdwood a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Birdwood is a compact Adelaide Hills town centred on a historic main street of stone and weatherboard buildings that house cafes, antique stores and local services. It sits among rolling farmland and native bush, with a mix of cottage-era stone homes, newer housing on the outskirts and larger hobby blocks, giving a rural-residential, community-minded feel. The National Motor Museum is a prominent local draw and brings a steady flow of visitors, while hill walks, weekend markets and everyday amenities are all within easy reach.

Home to 1,376 people with a median age of 43, Birdwood is a suburb of families and owner-occupiers: couple families (with and without children) make up more than eight in ten family households and 88.8% of dwellings are owner-occupied. Recent public investment has delivered a bikeway connection into town, a new ambulance station, a new all-ages playground and ongoing community and museum upgrades. That mix tends to suit people after an established, rural-residential town with local shops and community amenity; whether it suits you depends on what you want from where you live.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Birdwood?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent home sales or rentals in Birdwood to publish reliable house, unit or rent figures. Without those current price and rent numbers, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Birdwood compared with local household incomes 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 Birdwood a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months house values in Birdwood rose 4.6%, a modest increase in what a house is worth. That figure describes capital growth on the houses that sold over the year.

If your interest is rental income, rents are the figure that matters; whether Birdwood suits your needs as an investment depends on your goals and circumstances.
