Question 1

Is Lockwood a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Lockwood is a semi-rural locality on the outskirts of Bendigo, with a country lifestyle and open, low-density blocks. The landscape is a mix of hobby farms, acreage properties and older cottages set among paddocks and scattered eucalypts, and everyday life revolves around rural pursuits and outdoor space. Most shopping, health services, schools and larger recreational facilities are accessed in Bendigo by a short drive.

Home to 806 people with a median age of 46, Lockwood is a community where about nine in ten homes are owner-occupied and families are almost evenly split between couples with and without children. Local infrastructure includes a Black Spot road-safety upgrade on Crusoe Road that involved sealing shoulders, improving approaches, installing solar lighting and a vehicle-activated warning sign. Bendigo Health lists Lockwood in its Hospital in the Home program, and the local CFA received a community grant for emergency lighting and thermal imaging equipment. If you want room to breathe, privacy and a slower pace while keeping access to regional city conveniences, Lockwood reflects those qualities; whether it suits you depends on what you’re looking for.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Lockwood?

Accepted Answer

Lockwood hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without current house or unit prices and rents, there isn't a clear picture of how expensive it is to live in Lockwood compared with local incomes as recorded at the most recent Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
