Question 1

Is Lachlan a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Lachlan is a quiet, semi-rural suburb on Hobart's outer eastern fringe. Low-density streets, larger residential blocks and a predominance of standalone homes and small hobby properties give it a roomy, green character and a generally relaxed, family-oriented feel. Residents value nearby town centres for shops, schools and services, and enjoy easy access to surrounding bushland and coastal recreation.

With a population of 953 and a median age of 44, Lachlan is dominated by couple families, together making 88.2% of families, and homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied (39.3% owned outright, 57.0% with a mortgage). Local roads link the suburb to neighbouring areas and regional routes, with the C613 Lachlan Road terminating at the suburb centre. There are no significant new infrastructure projects reported. Whether Lachlan suits you depends on whether you want a quieter, low-density setting within reach of town centre amenities.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Lachlan?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Lachlan, TAS 7140 to publish reliable house or unit prices or typical rents. With only the ABS median total household income of $1,759 a week at the last Census available, there isn't enough information to say how expensive housing in Lachlan is compared with what people there earned 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.
