Question 1

Is Haddon a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Haddon is a small semi-rural township on the outskirts of Ballarat with the feel of a country village, framed by open paddocks, hobby farms and tree-lined streets. Housing ranges from older weatherboard cottages to modest newer homes on larger lots, and the suburb attracts families, retirees and people who want space for horses or gardening while still being close to city services. Life is quiet and community-minded, with a compact village centre for basics and straightforward road links to Ballarat for major shopping, health care and schooling.

The community numbers 1,276 people, with a median age of 40 and a median household income of $1,945 a week (roughly $101,140 a year). Families dominate the local profile and most homes are owner-occupied (96.9%). Recent and planned local works include a completed preschool centre adding two modular kindergarten rooms and up to 50 extra places, upgrades to the Ballarat–Skipton Rail Trail, a new path along Haddon School Road and improvements at the Haddon Recreation Reserve. Whether Haddon suits you depends on whether you value space, a village pace and close links to Ballarat.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Haddon?

Accepted Answer

Haddon 3351 had a median total household income of $1,945 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Haddon 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.
