Question 1

Is Millfield a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Millfield is a rural-fringe suburb in the Cessnock area of the Hunter Valley, with rolling farmland, pockets of native bush and larger residential lots. Housing ranges from older weatherboard cottages to more recent brick homes, often with paddocks, orchards or established trees, so day-to-day life is quiet and semi-rural and largely car dependent. The location keeps Cessnock’s shops and services and the Hunter Valley’s visitor attractions within reach, while country roads, creeks and nearby bushland provide outdoor recreation and easy access to cellar doors and regional parks.

Home to 1,282 people, Millfield is predominantly owner-occupied and weighted towards couple families, and it has a local public primary school. There is a community skatepark at Crawfordville Park and the council lists staged road upgrades, drainage works and a proposed shared path linking Millfield to nearby villages. Whether Millfield suits you depends on whether you want acreage-style, semi-rural living within reach of town and regional attractions.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Millfield?

Accepted Answer

At the last Census the median total household income in Millfield was $1,668 a week. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Millfield to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in the suburb 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.

Question 3

Is Millfield a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Whether a marginal rise like this makes Millfield the right investment for you depends on your objectives and personal circumstances.
