Question 1

Is Longwood a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Longwood is a small, semi-rural locality in the Adelaide Hills that feels like country living on the edge of town. Rolling paddocks, remnant native bush and a mix of hobby farms, established farmhouses and newer country homes on larger blocks give it a low-density, quiet character. The community numbers 325 and families make up the bulk of households, while homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied (95.9%). Streets suit people after space, privacy and outdoor access rather than immediate urban convenience.

Local shopping and schools are found in nearby towns, and residents use regional roads to reach services and employment. The Longwood Institute, a small historic community hall, hosts local events and there is some local investment in road renewal under way. That combination tends to suit families and commuters who want a rural lifestyle with regional hubs a short drive away, but whether it fits you depends on how important close-in urban convenience is.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Longwood?

Accepted Answer

Longwood (SA 5153) doesn't have enough recent property sales or rentals to publish reliable median price or rent figures. A typical local household earned $2,349 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, and without current price or rent data it's not possible to say how expensive housing is in Longwood 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.

Accepted Answer
