Question 1

Is Forest Range a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Forest Range is a rural residential locality in the Adelaide Hills, set among rolling gum-studded hills and established orchards. It has a country feel with acreage and hobby-farm properties, weatherboard cottages and renovated farmhouses on generous blocks, and residents enjoy a quiet lifestyle framed by native bush and scenic country roads. Everyday needs are met by nearby town centres for schools, shops and community events, and the area is within reach of the city and the wider Adelaide Hills food and wine scene.

Home to a small community of 290 people with a median age of 38, Forest Range is largely owner-occupied, with about 86.8% of homes owned outright or with a mortgage, and household composition is strongly family-oriented, led by couple families with children. There are no significant new infrastructure projects reported, though the Lenswood and Forest Range Community Association is working on a main-street beautification proposal around the post office and the intersection of Swamp Road and Lobethal Road to present to Adelaide Hills Council. Whether it suits you depends on how much you value space, gardens and a close connection to the land.
