Question 1

Is Forest Grove a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Forest Grove is a small rural-residential locality in Western Australia’s South West, with wooded pockets, farm paddocks and a low-density, country atmosphere. Properties are generally on larger blocks and include lifestyle homes, hobby farms and rural retreat houses, so the suburb tends to attract people after a quieter, nature-focused way of life while remaining within easy reach of the region’s towns, coastline and vineyards. It is a very small community of 253 people with a median age of 52, and most homes are owner-occupied (about 64%); couple families make up a large share of households.

Life here runs to driving rather than public transport, and local facilities and schools are found in neighbouring towns, so Forest Grove suits people who value space, privacy and a strong connection to the bush. There is also a planned expansion of the Wadandi Track that will add new trail through the nearby national park, and the area contains the Shire’s licensed Davis Road putrescible landfill, a regulated waste facility.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Forest Grove?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Forest Grove to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. With only the suburb's median household income recorded at the last Census, there isn't enough current price or rent data to say how expensive it is to live in Forest Grove 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.

Question 3

Is Forest Grove a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales in Forest Grove to publish reliable figures on how house and unit values and rents changed over the past 12 months. Without those published movements, there isn't a clear picture from the data of how the suburb performed as an investment during the year.
