The suburb is largely car oriented though bus connections link to surrounding centres.

Whether Eatons Hill suits you depends on whether you value space and a quieter suburban setting within reach of the city.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Eatons Hill?

Accepted Answer

A house renting for about $850 a week in Eatons Hill would take roughly 31% of a typical local household's weekly income as recorded at the most recent Census. On these figures, renting a house here would use a sizeable share of a typical local household's income, so if you're renting rather than buying that rent share is the most relevant measure to consider.
