Question 1

Is Lilydale a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Lilydale is a small rural township in northern Tasmania set among rolling farmland and pockets of bush, with a modest village centre of local shops and community facilities. Housing is mostly older cottages, family homes on larger blocks and hobby-farm properties. The community numbers 659 people, has a median age of 44 and a median household income of $1,203 a week, and families make up most households; roughly five in six households own their home.

Everyday life in Lilydale leans outdoors — the area suits gardening, horse riding and bush recreation — while many residents commute to nearby Launceston for work and services. The community pool precinct has been upgraded with improved access, picnic facilities and an accessible stair, and the council is studying a shared path to Lilydale Falls as part of wider discussion about extending the North East Rail Trail. Whether Lilydale suits you will depend on how much you value a quieter, country-style lifestyle with regional amenities within reach.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Lilydale?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Lilydale 7268 to publish reliable house or unit prices or typical rents. Without current price or rent figures, it isn't possible to say how expensive it is to live in Lilydale compared with what a typical local household 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.
