Question 1

Is Horsfield Bay a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Horsfield Bay is a small waterside suburb on the western shore of Brisbane Water, tucked between bushland and the water just south of Woy Woy. It has a quiet village feel, with residents enjoying boating, fishing and local foreshore reserves; jetties and waterfront homes contribute to a nautical character. Housing ranges from modest weatherboard cottages and holiday homes to renovated waterfront properties, and streets are lined with native trees.

With 501 residents and a median age of 46, Horsfield Bay is a suburb of families, where 46.8% of families are couples with children and 42.2% are couples without children, and about nine in ten homes are owner-occupied; the median household income is $2,083 a week. Practical amenities and train services are close by in Woy Woy, and nearby beaches and coastal parks add recreational options. Whether it suits you will depend on how much you value waterside living with convenient access to a nearby town centre.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Horsfield Bay?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Horsfield Bay to publish reliable price and rent figures. Without those figures, it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes. For reference, the ABS recorded a median total household income of $2,083 a week at the most recent Census, but that figure on its own does not show whether housing costs in Horsfield Bay are high or low against 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 Horsfield Bay a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Horsfield Bay edged down 1.1% over the past 12 months. That decline is the capital-growth figure to note if you're assessing the suburb as an investment, and whether it matters will depend on your objectives and circumstances.
