Question 1

Is Connewarre a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Connewarre sits on the fringe of the Bellarine Peninsula where open paddocks meet the wetlands of Lake Connewarre and the lower Barwon River. Life there is quiet and low density, with a mix of farm properties, hobby farms and larger lifestyle blocks and housing ranging from older weatherboard farmhouses to newer single-storey homes on acreage. The natural setting, with wetlands, birdlife and riverside walks, draws outdoor enthusiasts, while everyday services and shops are found in neighbouring coastal towns and in Geelong, making it a country-style base within reach of regional centres and beaches.

The community of 953 people has a median age of 50 and is largely owner-occupied (91.3%), with households dominated by couple families. Major transport upgrades on Barwon Heads Road are under way, and the Sparrovale Wetlands master plan has been adopted to stage public access, boardwalks, viewing platforms, a pedestrian bridge and a potential wetlands interpretation centre. Whether Connewarre suits you depends on whether low-density, rural living close to coastal towns and regional amenities matches what you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Connewarre?

Accepted Answer

Connewarre hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable price and rent figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without those figures, there isn't a clear picture of how expensive it is to live in Connewarre 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.

Question 3

Is Connewarre a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Connewarre fell 0.8% over the past 12 months, a marginal decline in the capital value of houses there. There isn't enough recent information available here to describe how unit values or rents moved, so the only clear signal for investors from the past year is that small drop in house prices. How that fits your goals depends on whether you prioritise capital growth or rental income and on your own circumstances.

This information has been prepared without taking your objectives, needs and overall financial situation into account. It is not meant to be a substitute for professional financial advice. For this reason, you should consider the appropriateness of the information and, if necessary, seek appropriate professional advice.
