Question 1

Is Littleton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Littleton sits on the fringe of Bathurst in the Central Tablelands. It is a small rural village of 737 people with a quiet country feel and surrounding rolling farmland. The area is mainly residential, with weatherboard cottages on tree-lined lanes and larger rural blocks, appealing to families, retirees and people who want more space while keeping easy access to a regional city. Littleton does not have a large commercial centre, so residents typically use Bathurst for shopping, schools and services while enjoying open skies and farmed scenery and straightforward access to regional roads.

The community has a median age of 47 and is dominated by couple households, and most homes are owner-occupied with about four in five dwellings owned outright or with a mortgage and around one in five rented. Public transport is provided by Lithgow-area bus services, including the South Bowenfels to Lithgow route that runs via Littleton, and there are no significant new public infrastructure or civic amenity projects reported at this time. Whether Littleton suits you depends on whether you value a rural, settled setting with links to Bathurst for everyday needs.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Littleton?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Littleton are about $450 a week. Against a typical local household income of $1,161 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, $450 a week is about 38.8% of that income, a sizeable share. If you're renting, 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 Littleton a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Littleton rose 4.3% over the past 12 months, a modest increase in capital value for the year. There isn't enough recent data here on unit values or rents to describe how those parts of the market moved, so the available figure mainly speaks to house capital growth; whether that suits your plans depends on your goals and circumstances.
