Question 1

Is Downlands a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Downlands is a quiet residential suburb of Burnie on Tasmania's north-west coast. Gently sloping streets give many properties pleasant outlooks, and the area is made up of established single-storey homes with modest gardens. Residents have straightforward access to Burnie's shops, services and coastal attractions, and there are local parks and neighbourhood reserves. Local roads and the Burnie public bus network link Downlands to the city centre and surrounding suburbs, so the suburb functions as a practical, calm base for everyday living rather than a busy commercial precinct.

It is a small community of 237 people, with a median age of 36 and a median household income of $1,458 a week, roughly $75,800 a year. Families dominate the household mix, with couple families (with and without children) making up 83.6% of family households, and about 71.8% of homes are owner-occupied. That settled, low-maintenance character tends to suit households such as families and retirees; whether Downlands suits you will depend on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Downlands?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Downlands, TAS to publish reliable median house, unit or rental figures. With only the local household income recorded at the most recent Census available, it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in Downlands compared with what typical local households earned at that 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 Downlands a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Downlands hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable figures on how prices or rents have moved this year, which is common in smaller or quieter markets. Without those figures, there isn't a clear picture of how it has performed as an investment lately.
