Question 1

Is Martinsville a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Martinsville is a semi-rural Lake Macquarie locality that feels more like a small country village than a suburban estate. Set among rolling bushland, grazing paddocks and larger residential lots, it attracts people after a quiet, outdoor lifestyle — from families wanting space to hobby farmers and city commuters who value a rural outlook. Housing is dominated by rural-residential blocks, with a mix of older farmhouse properties and more recently built homes, and there is a low-key village centre rather than a full retail hub, so major shopping is found in nearby towns while bushwalking, horse riding and lakeside recreation are close at hand.

Martinsville is a small community of 389 people with a median age of 53 years. The typical household has a weekly income of $1,821, roughly $94,700 a year.

Families are dominated by couples: 53.4% are couple families without children, making them the largest family type, while couples with children account for 39.8% and one-parent families 6.8%.

Homes in Martinsville are mostly owner-occupied, with owners making up 86.5% of dwellings — 53.4% owned outright and 33.1% owned with a mortgage. Renters comprise 13.5% of households.
