Question 1

Is Neath a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Neath is a small rural locality in the Hunter that reads more like a pocket of countryside than a town. The landscape is dominated by farmland, paddocks and scattered stands of native trees, and housing is mainly farmhouses and rural-residential blocks where residents value space and a quieter pace. Everyday shopping, schools and health services are reached in nearby regional centres and local roads link the locality to the wider Hunter. There are no significant new public infrastructure or civic-amenity projects reported for the area.

With a population of 430 and a median age of 55, Neath is a small, older-skewing community made up largely of couple households; couple families without children are 48.1% and, together with couple families with children, make up 73.1% of families. Homes are mostly owner-occupied (52.7% owned outright and 36.2% owned with a mortgage). It suits people seeking country living, hobby farms or a low-key lifestyle while still having larger towns close by for services and recreation. Whether that fits you depends on what you want from where you live.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Neath?

Accepted Answer

Neath's median total household income was $792 a week as recorded at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals recorded to publish reliable house or unit prices or typical rents for Neath. With only the Census income available, it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in Neath 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.
