Question 1

Is Ellendale a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Ellendale is a small country village in the Derwent Valley with low-density, agricultural-style housing — older weatherboard farmhouses, simple timber cottages and a mix of hobby farms and lifestyle blocks. Local life centres on the landscape, with country drives, bushland walks and farm-based recreation rather than a busy town centre. It attracts people after a quieter rural pace who still want reasonable access to larger towns for shopping, schools and services.

The community is very small, with 285 residents and a median age of 49, and families are dominated by couple households both with and without children. Most homes are owner-occupied. A recent major water-supply upgrade now connects the township to the Fentonbury treatment plant, removing the need for seasonal water carting and easing pressure on the Jones River, and TasWater plans to decommission the ageing local treatment plant as part of those works. Whether Ellendale suits you comes down to whether that rural, low-density lifestyle fits your needs.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Ellendale?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Ellendale, TAS to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. Without those current price or rent figures, the suburb's median household income at the most recent Census doesn't by itself show how expensive it is to live in Ellendale compared with local housing costs.

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 Ellendale a good place to invest?
