Question 1

Is Bodalla a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Bodalla is a small historic village on the NSW south coast set in rolling dairy country between Moruya and Narooma. The town’s stone buildings and compact main street reflect its long association with dairy farming. With 808 residents and a median age of 53, housing is mainly farmhouses, weatherboard cottages and rural lifestyle blocks, and most homes are owner-occupied (83.4%). That gives the place a settled, rural rhythm centred on farming, local produce and outdoor pursuits.

Day-to-day life in Bodalla revolves around basic local services on the main street and road links via the Princes Highway, while local works have improved reliability of access and the Bodalla State Forest now forms part of an expanded mountain-bike trail network with a new trailhead carpark. The suburb tends to suit people after a quiet country pace with easy access to nearby beaches, bushland and coastal towns; whether it fits you will depend on what you value in a place to live.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Bodalla?

Accepted Answer

For Bodalla the only figure available here is the ABS median total household income, about $1,181 a week as recorded at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable house, unit or rent figures, so from these data it isn't possible to say how expensive it is to live in Bodalla 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.
