Question 1

Is Forcett a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Forcett is a quiet, rural locality of rolling paddocks, pockets of native bush and a low-density, country-residential layout. Life there is peaceful and outdoors oriented, with easy access to coastal beaches, bushland and local fishing spots, while everyday shops, schools and services are found in nearby towns. Local roads link the area to the coast and the broader Hobart region, so it works as a rural option for people who want more space and a slower pace.

The community of 1,102 people has a median age of 39 and a median household income of $1,797 a week. Families are dominated by couples, who make up about 84.9% of all families, and housing is overwhelmingly owner-occupied (94.3% owned outright or with a mortgage). Road upgrade designs for the Arthur Highway and council plans for shared paths and walking links through Forcett aim to improve connections. Whether Forcett suits you will come down to whether you want country living, room around the house and ready access to the coast and bush.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Forcett?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Forcett to publish reliable house or unit prices or typical rents. The only figure available is the suburb's median total household income, which was $1,797 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, so on that alone it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Forcett.

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 Forcett a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Forcett’s house values rose a solid 5.0% over the past 12 months. That figure represents the suburb’s capital growth for houses over the year and is the movement available from the data here; it does not describe how rents or unit values changed. Whether a 5.0% rise in house values fits your investment goals depends on your objectives and circumstances.
