Question 1

Is Killingworth a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Killingworth is a small semi-rural suburb in the Lake Macquarie area, set among paddocks and pockets of native bush. Life there tends to be quiet, with hobby farms and houses on generous blocks along tree-lined lanes, and a mix of older timber cottages and more recent family homes. Residents are largely families and people who value space and a rural outlook while travelling to nearby towns for work. Everyday shops and services are available in Morisset and surrounding centres, and recreational areas around the lake and regional bushland are easy to reach.

It is a community of 690 people with a median age of 39 and a median household income of $2,091 a week. Nearly half of households are couple families with children and dwellings are overwhelmingly owner-occupied (94.9%). Council plans include small local recreation upgrades such as a new multi-purpose court, a proposed BMX facility and a dog exercise area, and the suburb is associated with the state-significant Killingworth to Kooragang Island gas pipeline for which further modifications and licence steps have been proposed. Whether Killingworth suits you will come down to how much you value space, rural character and links to nearby towns.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Killingworth?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Killingworth to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents. Because only the suburb's median household income at the last Census ($2,091 a week) is available, there's not enough information to say how expensive it is to live in Killingworth 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.

Question 3

Is Killingworth a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Killingworth hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable figures on how house or unit prices and rents moved over the past year. Without that data, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment in the last 12 months.
