Question 1

Is Highlands a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Highlands is a rural-residential locality on the outskirts of Mansfield in Victoria's high country, defined by rolling paddocks, scattered native bush and clear views to the nearby ranges. Properties are mostly acreage blocks and hobby farms, with a mix of weatherboard cottages and contemporary country homes along quiet, tree-lined lanes. The area attracts long-standing farming families alongside people seeking space, privacy and a country lifestyle, and residents use Mansfield for everyday shops and services while travelling by car on rural roads. There's also ready access to bushwalking, horse riding and alpine recreation in season.

With a very small population of 151 and a median age of 54, Highlands reads as a settled, owner-occupied community — about nine in ten dwellings are owner-occupied while roughly one in ten (10.9%) are rented. Median household income is $1,375 a week, roughly $71,500 a year. Local work on roads and a grant for a security upgrade to the community hall underline ongoing attention to basic infrastructure, and the hall is recognised as a local asset. Whether Highlands suits you will depend on how much you value acreage living, privacy and proximity to Mansfield's services.
