Question 1

Is Chatsworth a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Chatsworth is a semi-rural suburb on the outskirts of Gympie, with a country-style feel of bushland, rolling paddocks and larger blocks. Acreage properties and hobby farms sit alongside low-density streets with a mix of older timber cottages and newer brick homes. The community of 1,353 has a median age of 43 and a median household income of $1,442 a week. Owner-occupiers make up the large majority of homes, and couple families with and without children together account for about six in seven families.

Residents tend to value space, privacy and outdoor living and rely on nearby Gympie for shopping, schools and health services. The council has announced construction works at Chatsworth Park and the park is temporarily closed while those works occur, and a Chatsworth Park bridge renewal is funded. Fishermans Pocket Road sustained significant flood damage and remains closed until further notice. Whether Chatsworth suits you will depend on whether a quieter, low-key regional lifestyle with larger blocks and easy access to Gympie fits your needs.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Chatsworth?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Chatsworth to publish reliable house and unit price or rent figures. Without current price or rent data, it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Chatsworth compared with local household incomes recorded at the last Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
