Question 1

Is Freshwater Creek a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Freshwater Creek is a semi-rural locality on the outskirts of Geelong, defined by broad paddocks, hobby farms and low-density rural-residential blocks clustered around its namesake creek. It attracts people after more land and a quieter pace; the community is small, with 454 residents and a median age of 45, and families predominate. Home ownership is high, with roughly 85% of dwellings owner-occupied.

Everyday life here is shaped by quiet country roads and a reliance on nearby towns for shops, schools and services, while the coast and regional centres are within easy reach for weekend recreation. Local facilities include a community hall and a recreation reserve with tennis courts, a playground, an equestrian area and a pavilion. The shire has listed the reserve as a priority and is seeking funding for an equestrian all-weather arena, and the Freshwater Creek Steiner School is building a new learning building. Whether Freshwater Creek suits you comes down to whether you want a semi-rural, land-based lifestyle with services close by.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Freshwater Creek?

Accepted Answer

At the most recent Census the median total household income in Freshwater Creek was $2,087 a week. There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live here 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.
