Question 1

Is Mount Rankin a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mount Rankin is a semi-rural area centred on a bush-clad hill, with bushwalking tracks and lookouts over Bathurst and the surrounding tablelands. Streets and properties sit among eucalypts and native scrub, and the mix of rural-residential blocks and standalone homes suits people who want space, outdoor recreation and a rural outlook while using Bathurst for shops, schools and services. It is popular with walkers and mountain bikers and appeals to anyone who values a leafy, low-density setting close to a regional centre.

The community totals 428 people, with a median age of 44 and a median household income of $2,437 a week (about $126,500 a year). Families make up the bulk of households, with 50.0% couple families with children and 41.2% couple families without children, and about nine in ten homes are owner-occupied while renters are 7.5%. There are no significant new public infrastructure or civic amenity projects noted. Whether Mount Rankin suits you depends on what you're after.

Accepted Answer
