Question 1

Is Kangaroo Valley a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Kangaroo Valley's most distinctive features are the historic Hampden Bridge and a compact main street of cafes, galleries and local shops.

The community is older, with couples without children at home prominent—54.6% of families are in that group—and many households own their homes outright. Everyday life centres on the river and the bush, with kayaking, bushwalking and regular local markets, and a small main street providing shops and services; road links connect the valley to the nearby highlands and coast. Hampden Bridge is subject to ongoing investigations and master-planning, with a draft master report prepared as Transport for NSW examines options for a temporary and permanent new crossing.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Kangaroo Valley?

Accepted Answer

A typical local household in Kangaroo Valley earned about $1,578 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable price and rent figures, so it's not possible to describe 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.
