Question 1

Is Page a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Page is an established, leafy suburb in Belconnen with tree-lined streets and mostly single-storey brick homes, alongside pockets of townhouses and newer infill. Day-to-day life centres on a small local shopping strip and neighbourhood parks, while the larger Belconnen town centre is close by for supermarkets, speciality stores and services. Regular bus services and walking and cycling routes through adjoining reserves make getting around straightforward for people who use public transport or prefer active travel.

Home to 3,054 people with a median age of 40 and a median household income of $1,773 a week (about $92,196 a year), Page is weighted towards couple households, both with and without children, and is mostly owner-occupied (about two in three homes). A recent community initiative has secured funding to add to the shops precinct and support events. Whether Page suits you depends on what you want, but the picture is of a relaxed, family-oriented suburb popular with families, public servants and professionals.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Page?

Accepted Answer

House rents in ACT, Page 2614 are about $640 a week. Against a typical local household income of $1,773 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, that rent would take about 36.1% of income — roughly a bit over a third, which is a sizeable share for a typical household. If you're renting rather than buying, that share is the figure that matters when weighing housing costs against local incomes at the last Census.
