Question 1

Is Fullerton Cove a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Fullerton Cove is a semi-rural Port Stephens suburb set around a tidal inlet, with wetlands and an estuarine shoreline that give it a coastal-country character. Housing is low density on large, tree-filled blocks and hobby-acreage properties, and the small community of 735 people has a median age of 69. Almost all homes are owner-occupied, with 80.4% owned outright and a further 18.2% with a mortgage, and families are dominated by couples without children.

Local services are limited, so residents travel to nearby towns for shopping and schools, while recreation focuses on the foreshore, bushland and fishing and most travel is by car. Planning work is under way for Precinct 1, including rezoning options and supporting technical studies, and a neighbourhood centre, more open space and trail improvements and a bus shelter have been identified as possible future actions; whether those progress will include public exhibition and community feedback. Whether Fullerton Cove suits you depends on if you want space, birdlife and quiet water views rather than urban convenience.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Fullerton Cove?

Accepted Answer

Fullerton Cove (NSW 2318) hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so there isn't a clear picture of current housing costs to compare with local incomes. With only the Census household income figure available, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Fullerton Cove compared with what a typical household earned at the last Census.

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 Fullerton Cove a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Fullerton Cove climbed 8.7% over the past 12 months, a solid rise in what houses are worth over the year. That change speaks to capital growth for houses on the data available; there isn't enough recent information on unit values or on rents to say how rental income or the unit market moved.
