Question 1

Is Mount Osmond a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mount Osmond is an elevated, leafy foothills suburb tucked into native bush, with steep, winding streets and walking tracks that lead into Cleland Conservation Park and towards Mount Lofty. Properties are mainly large, detached houses on sloping, treed blocks, many with elevated outlooks over the plains and coast. It is a small community of 464 people, with a median age of 46 and a typical household income of $2,777 a week. The population is weighted towards couple families and homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied, so the area suits people after a quieter, more private lifestyle while remaining close to the eastern suburbs' shops and services.

Local amenities inside Mount Osmond are limited, so most residents travel by car along the foothills roads for shopping, schools and public transport connections. Mount Osmond Reserve provides a network of grade 3 shared-use walking and cycling trails with pedestrian access off Waterfall Gully Road, Dashwood Road, Hayward Drive and Old Bullock Track. There is a program of feral deer control that includes temporary reserve closures, local landslide prevention works have been delivered, transport upgrades have been planned for the Mount Osmond Road interchange, and the council has approved an accessible automated public toilet at Brock Reserve.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mount Osmond?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Mount Osmond to publish reliable house or unit price and rent figures. The ABS records a median total household income of $2,777 a week at the last Census, but without current prices or rents it's not possible to say how expensive housing is in Mount Osmond 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

Accepted Answer
