Question 1

Is Don a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Don sits on the western bank of the Mersey River as part of Devonport’s northern coastal fringe. It has a quietly semi-rural character, with tree-lined streets, older cottages and low-density housing on generous blocks. The Don River, its walking tracks and the volunteer-run Don River Railway give the suburb a strong local identity and an outdoor focus. A sealed walking and cycling loop links Don to Coles Beach and the wider Devonport network, and nearby waterfront amenities include Waterfront Park and the permanent "From Sky to Sea" sound and light show.

It is a small community of 647 people, with a median age of 45 and a typical household income of $1,912 a week (about $99,400 a year). Families are the dominant household type and most homes are owner-occupied (91.8%). Residents rely on nearby Devonport for shopping, schools and transport, so Don suits people after a relaxed, community-minded lifestyle close to the city; whether it fits you depends on what you value in a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Don?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Don to publish reliable house or unit price and rent figures, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Don compared with local incomes 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.

Question 3

Is Don a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales in Don to produce reliable 12-month figures for house or unit values or rents. Without published movement on prices or rents, there isn't a clear picture of how Don has performed as an investment over the past year.
