Chittering sits in the Chittering Valley as a rural-residential area of rolling hills, river flats and native bush. Orchards, hobby farms, equestrian properties and small acreages give it a quietly agricultural character, and daily life is oriented around outdoor pursuits, seasonal produce and country community events. Residents range from longstanding farmers to people seeking a tree-change and commuters who travel by car; basic shops and services are in nearby town centres while larger facilities are reached via regional roads.

It is a small community of 1,034 people with a median age of 44, and housing is overwhelmingly owner-occupied (94.7%), with most families made up of couples with or without children. Major local projects include the Great Northern Highway Bindoon Bypass, a stage-one mountain bike park on Chinkabee Hill (stage two seeking funding), promotion of the Muchea Industrial Park, and a parcel set aside for a future sport and community centre whose delivery has been deferred. Whether Chittering suits you depends on whether you want a rural, outdoors-oriented, owner-occupied place.

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Chittering to publish reliable house or unit prices and typical rents. Without those current housing figures, it isn't possible to say how expensive living in Chittering is compared with local household incomes as recorded at the most recent Census.

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

A very large 252.9% increase in median house value over the past 12 months is the standout number. In Chittering, that percentage shows the capital growth recorded for houses during the year.

If capital growth is the main thing you care about, that is the figure to focus on; whether it makes Chittering a suitable investment depends on your own goals and circumstances.
