Question 1

Is Herbert a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Herbert is a rural-residential locality in the Darwin region, made up of large, vegetated blocks and a quiet, country-like atmosphere. Housing is mainly detached homes on generous land rather than dense developments, so it suits people after space and privacy while staying within reach of larger town centres. There are few shops or services in Herbert itself, so residents travel to nearby centres for shopping, schools and healthcare. Road access is the primary transport option, and the surrounding bushland and open paddocks contribute to a laid-back, semi-rural feel.

About 1,610 people live in Herbert with a median age of 38. Families make up the bulk of households, with couple families with children the largest group (53.5%), and homes are predominantly owner-occupied at roughly 88% combined; about 12.1% of dwellings are rented. There are no significant new infrastructure projects reported at present, although Litchfield Council has advised a local intersection upgrade. Whether Herbert is right for you will depend on how much you value space and a semi-rural setting versus travelling to nearby centres for everyday services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Herbert?

Accepted Answer

Herbert (NT 0836) had a typical household income of $2,765 a week as recorded at the most recent Census. However, there haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Herbert to publish reliable house or unit price and rent figures.
