Question 1

Is Bruthen a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Bruthen sits beside the Tambo River on the Great Alpine Road, with a compact main street of cafés, galleries and the East Gippsland Rail Trail.

The community is older, with incomes below the median for Victoria and many owner-occupiers, and the population is 820. Outdoor life centres on the waterway, walking and cycling on nearby trails and easy access to bushland and the Gippsland Lakes region, giving the town a relaxed regional pace and plenty of open space. A streetscape upgrade was completed and included provision for an RV dump point at Lions Park.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Bruthen?

Accepted Answer

A typical local household in Bruthen earned about $1,198 a week at the last Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Bruthen to publish reliable house or unit prices or weekly rents, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live there 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.
