Question 1

Is Bucketty a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Bucketty is a small bushland locality in the Central Coast hinterland, made up mostly of rural properties, weekend cabins and weatherboard cottages on generous lots. The community numbers 165 people, has a median age of 50 and a median total household income of $1,375 a week (about $71,500 a year). Families are dominated by couple households without children (63.0%), and homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied (40.0% owned outright and 55.7% owned with a mortgage).

Local services are limited, so daily shopping and schools are found in nearby towns, while residents tend to seek space, privacy and a hands-on outdoor lifestyle with bushwalking, horse riding and birdwatching on the doorstep. Recent local works include road safety improvements on George Downes Drive/Great North Road and upgrades to the Bucketty Rural Fire Service station. The area adjoins Yengo National Park and the Old Great North Road heritage route, which includes the convict-built "Bucketty Wall" and associated park arrangements. Whether Bucketty suits you comes down to how much you value rural space versus proximity to services.
