Question 1

Is Howden a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Howden is a small coastal suburb above the D'Entrecasteaux Channel near Blackmans Bay with a quietly residential character. Housing is mainly single-family, from older weatherboard cottages to newer homes that take advantage of coastal outlooks. Native bush and coastal reserves frame parts of the suburb and provide walking tracks and lookout spots, while small beaches and a public boat ramp on Wingara Road make the water easy to enjoy. Local shops and services are found in nearby centres and there are planned local works including a foreshore toilet at Tinderbox and a Howden to Tinderbox hills walking track.

Home to 717 people with a median age of 44, Howden is largely a suburb of families and is overwhelmingly owner-occupied, with 93.0% of homes owned outright or with a mortgage. The typical household has a median weekly income of $2,324. That mix tends to suit people after a peaceful seaside lifestyle with ready access to Hobart and surrounding bayside communities; whether it is the right fit depends on what you are looking for in a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Howden?

Accepted Answer

Howden (TAS 7054) hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable median house or unit prices or average rents. Without those figures, and with only the median total household income recorded at the most recent Census ($2,324 a week), it's not possible to say 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.
