Question 1

Is Huskisson a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Huskisson sits on the shores of Jervis Bay, with clear water, white sand beaches and a busy small harbour. The foreshore is the town focus, with a compact strip of cafes, galleries and boutique shops around the wharf, and boating, fishing, snorkelling and dolphin and whale watching are common pastimes. Housing ranges from weatherboard cottages and creekside bungalows to waterfront homes and low-rise units, and the population is small with a median age of 56, drawing locals, retirees and holiday-home owners.

Owner-occupiers make up a majority of homes, and recent works have upgraded the foreshore and the mangrove boardwalk, while maritime museum and transport improvements are under way and coastal management actions are planned for the sea pool and local foreshore. If you want an outdoorsy seaside lifestyle and a quieter, settled community, Huskisson is worth a look; whether it suits you depends on what you value in a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Huskisson?

Accepted Answer

On the figures here, renting in Huskisson would take a large share of what a typical local household earned at the most recent Census. A house at $650 a week is about 50.2% of a $1,294 weekly household income (roughly half of that income), and a unit at $550 a week is about 42.5%.

For people looking to rent, those rent shares are the most relevant numbers to weigh; whether that feels expensive will depend on your own income and circumstances.

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 Huskisson a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Huskisson shows a split result over the past 12 months. Median house values fell 6.3%, a solid decline, while median unit values rose 4.6%, a moderate increase. On the income side, house rents edged up 1.6% (a slight rise) and unit rents rose 4.8% (a moderate rise).

Put in investor terms, units delivered modest capital growth this year and stronger rental growth than houses, whereas houses saw a decline in value while rents rose only slightly. Whether that mix of capital and rental movement suits your needs depends on your goals and circumstances.
