Question 1

Is Dilston a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Dilston sits on the eastern side of the Tamar River in the Tamar Valley and has a semi-rural, country-style feel with paddocks, native bush and lifestyle blocks beside low-density residential streets. Housing is dominated by single-family homes and rural-residential properties, so there is space for gardens, sheds or hobby farming. The East Tamar Highway is the main route in and out, and the area is close to riverside recreation and the broader recreational and wine-producing landscape of the valley, while still offering easy access to Launceston for work, schools and shops.

It is a small, settled community of 558 people with a median age of 47 and high owner-occupation (about 92.4% owned outright or with a mortgage, renters roughly one in 13 homes). Dilston Hall is included in a council community halls external painting program and district halls are being brought under council booking and management. That combination of space, outdoors access and a predominantly owner-occupied population tends to suit people after room for outdoor hobbies and a quieter, more rural lifestyle with convenient links to the city; whether it fits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Dilston?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Dilston to publish reliable house or unit price and rent figures. With only the suburb's household income recorded at the most recent Census, it's not possible to say how expensive housing is there compared with local incomes.

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 Dilston a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Dilston hasn't had enough recent property sales to publish reliable 12-month figures for house and unit values or for rents. Because of that, there isn't a clear picture from the numbers of how the suburb has performed as an investment over the past year.
