Question 1

Is Gordon a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Gordon is a small rural township in Victoria’s central highlands and goldfields country, set among rolling paddocks and scattered native bush. It has a compact village core and a mix of older cottages, larger rural properties and lifestyle blocks, which appeals to people seeking space, hobby farming or a quieter country pace while keeping access to regional services in nearby Ballarat. The suburb is home to 1,393 people with a median age of 43; couple families together account for 87.8% of families and owner-occupation is high at 91.5%.

Everyday life is shaped by rural roads, local community facilities and the surrounding countryside, which lends itself to riding, walking and other outdoor pursuits. The Gordon Recreation Reserve has a recently finalised master plan and a program of staged upgrades is under way, prioritising the uneven oval and an ageing pavilion and including works for netball courts, parking and short-term improvements such as drainage and landscaping. Whether that quieter, country pace suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Gordon?

Accepted Answer

The ABS recorded a median total household income in Gordon of $2,012 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Gordon to publish reliable median house or unit prices or average rents, so it isn't possible to describe 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.

Question 3

Is Gordon a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Gordon climbed 20.6% over the past 12 months, a strong rise in what houses are worth. For someone weighing Gordon up as an investment, that figure describes capital growth over the year and will be the number that matters most if your priority is price appreciation rather than rental income. Whether that suits your goals and circumstances is for you to decide.
