Question 1

Is Kearsley a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Kearsley is a small rural village on the outskirts of the Cessnock area in the Hunter region, with a country feel among farmland and native bush. Housing is a mix of older weatherboard cottages, modest family homes and larger acreage blocks, which appeals to people after more space and a quieter pace. Local shops and services are limited, so residents commonly travel to nearby centres such as Cessnock and Kurri Kurri for schools, medical care and retail.

The suburb is home to 838 people with a median age of 38 and a median total household income of $1,467 a week (about $76,284 a year). Families make up the bulk of the community, with couple families (with and without children) representing 79.1% of families, and about 85.7% of homes are owner-occupied. Recent flood mitigation works have altered the creek and parts of the cycleway, Kearsley Public School is having a new preschool delivered under the NSW Rebuilding Public Education program, and the area includes an EPA-licensed wastewater treatment works.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Kearsley?

Accepted Answer

Kearsley hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to produce reliable current price or rent figures. Without those housing numbers, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Kearsley compared with local incomes at the last Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
