Question 1

Is Clunes a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Clunes is a small historic town in the central Victorian goldfields with a well preserved 19th century bluestone and brick main street that gives the place a village character. Streets contain a mix of period cottages, Victorian terraces and some larger rural properties on the town fringe, and the community is largely owner-occupied with a median age of 51, pointing to a settled population weighted towards couple households without children.

Community-minded locals support independent shops, cafes and creative spaces, and the surrounding farmland and rolling hills make the area popular for weekend drives and country living. A state-run early learning centre is under construction on the grounds of Clunes Primary School and will provide long day care plus three- and four-year-old kindergarten places for up to 102 children. Hepburn Shire is exploring measures to encourage more social and affordable housing, and local health services include the Ochre Medical Centre at the Clunes District Hospital. Whether Clunes suits you depends on how much you value a quieter country lifestyle with an established village centre and ready access to larger regional centres.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Clunes?

Accepted Answer

Clunes hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without those figures, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Clunes 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.
