Question 1

Is Killcare a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Killcare is a quiet coastal suburb on the Bouddi Peninsula, centred on a small waterside village and the sandy sweep of Killcare Beach. Fringed by Bouddi National Park, its coastal walking tracks and headlands give the area a strong bush and beach character, while nearby sheltered bays support a boating and fishing lifestyle. Housing ranges from timber beach cottages and older bungalows to larger waterfront homes, and everyday life is relaxed and outdoors oriented with ready access to walks, beaches and boating and a short drive to bigger Central Coast services.

With a small population of 517 and a median age of 53, Killcare is largely a suburb of couple families and owner-occupiers: 87.3% of families are couple families and 86.4% of homes are owner-occupied, with renters at 13.7%. Local improvements are under way at the Killcare Surf Life Saving Club and on Wards Hill Road, and reserve upgrades near the surf club have been flagged. That combination suits people after a relaxed, outdoors-focused coastal community, whether as permanent residents or holiday owners.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Killcare?

Accepted Answer

In Killcare, houses rent for about $880 a week. Against a typical local household income of $1,890 a week at the last Census, that rent would take roughly 46.6% of a household's weekly income, which is a large share. For people renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure that matters; whether it feels expensive depends 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 Killcare a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Killcare edged down 1.8% over the past 12 months, a slight fall in what a house is worth. For someone weighing Killcare up as an investment, that movement is the capital-growth figure to consider, and whether it suits your objectives depends on your goals and circumstances.
