Question 1

Is Edithburgh a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Edithburgh is a quiet coastal township on the south-eastern tip of Yorke Peninsula, framed by rocky headlands, sandy beaches and the offshore Troubridge Island with its lighthouse. Life centres on the timber jetty and a small harbour and boat ramp, popular with fishers, snorkellers and scuba divers, while a compact main street supplies everyday shops and services. Surrounding broadacre farms give a blend of seaside holiday atmosphere and working rural life, and housing ranges from weatherboard cottages and holiday shacks to modest low-rise homes. The pace suits retirees, families rooted in the district and owners of coastal holiday properties who value fishing, diving, coastal walks and abundant birdlife.

Edithburgh is a small community of 550 people with a median age of 62. The typical household income is $784 a week, roughly $40,800 a year.

Families are dominated by couples without children, who make up 68.9% of families — nearly seven in ten. Couple families with children account for 19.3%, while one-parent families represent 11.8%. Altogether, couple families with and without children comprise 88.2% of reported families.

Homes in Edithburgh are mostly owner-occupied: about 82.5% are owned outright or with a mortgage, with 60.6% owned outright and a further 21.9% owned with a mortgage. Renters make up 17.5% of dwellings.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Edithburgh?

Accepted Answer

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