Question 1

Is Patonga a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Patonga is a small coastal village on the Bouddi Peninsula, sitting on the southern edge of Broken Bay. It has a relaxed waterfront character with a sandy beach, a timber jetty and classic boatsheds along the foreshore, and bushland that runs into Bouddi National Park. Housing mixes weatherboard cottages and holiday homes with more recent waterfront residences, and a compact village strip provides a cafe and local store. A ferry links Patonga across the bay to Palm Beach, and the place commonly appeals to boaties, anglers and bushwalkers and to people after a quiet beachside lifestyle.

The community is small, 235 people with a median age of 65, and families are dominated by couples without children. Most homes are owner-occupied. Local works have included a resurfacing of the tennis courts and Crown Lands repairs to the seawall at Dark Corner with an investment of just over $51,000, while council programs list roads and drainage upgrades at the campground as scheduled works. The village is served by a public wharf, a boat ramp and a camping and caravan park.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Patonga?

Accepted Answer

Patonga hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit price and rent figures, so it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes recorded at the most recent Census. The only local figure available is the ABS median total household income at the last Census, which was $1,069 a week, but that single number doesn't let us compare housing costs without current prices or rents.

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

Is Patonga a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales in Patonga to publish reliable figures on how house or unit values and rents have changed over the past year. Because of that, it's not possible to describe how the suburb has performed as an investment over the last 12 months.
