Question 1

Is Cabarita a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Cabarita is a small riverside suburb on the outskirts of Mildura with a relaxed, semi-rural character centred on the Murray River. Streets are quiet and lined with a mix of older weatherboard and brick homes and newer houses on generous blocks. Outdoor recreation is part of daily life, with boating, fishing and riverside walking common, while shopping, schools and health services are reached in nearby Mildura. The community is small, 482 people, with a median age of 43, and homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied (about 93.9%).

Council and locals are active in local planning and amenity works, with a community plan under development and projects such as a community centre and Landcare Hub, the Make the Lake planting and events, the Garden of Hope at Lake Hawthorn and a seasonal 50-metre pool. That combination of riverside recreation, a largely owner-occupied population and local projects means Cabarita tends to attract families, retirees and people after a quieter riverside lifestyle or holiday base. Whether it suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Cabarita?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Cabarita to publish reliable house, unit or rent figures, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes. The only available figure is the median total household income of $2,233 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, and that alone doesn't show whether housing costs are high or low.

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 Cabarita a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rent records in Cabarita to publish reliable 12-month changes for house and unit values and rents. Because of that, there's not enough information to describe how the suburb has performed as an investment over the past year.
