Question 1

Is Modewarre a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Modewarre is a rural locality in the Surf Coast hinterland, sitting between the coastal townships around Torquay and the farming country inland. The area is quietly agricultural, with open paddocks, rolling hills and pockets of native bush, and it’s made up of farmhouses, lifestyle blocks and newer country residences rather than dense urban streets. Residents tend to favour a rural pace while relying on nearby towns for shopping, schools and services, and regional roads provide straightforward access to the Surf Coast beaches and larger centres.

The community is very small — 277 people with a median age of 44 — and household composition is dominated by couples. Most homes are owner-occupied (48.1% owned outright and 44.4% with a mortgage) and only about 7.4% are rented. Local infrastructure includes a new Modewarre Fire Brigade station on Cape Otway Road, the former station is being repurposed for community use, and council works have been carried out on a section of Cape Otway Road. Whether Modewarre suits you will depend on whether a rural, established community that leans on nearby towns for services fits your needs.
