Question 1

Is Falls Creek a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Falls Creek is a small rural-residential locality in the Shoalhaven on the NSW South Coast, set among bushland, creeklines and rolling paddocks with scattered acreage properties close to Nowra and the Princes Highway.

The community is older and made up of many couples without children at home, and 48.1% of homes are owned outright. Everyday life has an outdoor rhythm, with horse riding, bush walks and property maintenance common, shops, schools and services located in nearby Nowra, and the Princes Highway and Jervis Bay Road intersection upgrade at Falls Creek has entered major construction and is being built as a grade-separated interchange to widen the Princes Highway to two lanes in each direction.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Falls Creek?

Accepted Answer

At the most recent Census, the median total household income in Falls Creek was $1,508 a week. There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Falls Creek to publish reliable house, unit or rent figures, so it isn't possible from the available data to say how expensive living there is compared with local incomes.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
