Question 1

Is Raglan a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Raglan is a semi-rural village on the outskirts of Bathurst where life centres on rolling farmland, scattered bush, open paddocks and country roads. The suburb is made up of rural residential blocks and established farmhouses, and it attracts people who want space for hobby farming, gardening or horse riding alongside commuters who work in Bathurst. Local services are limited, so residents rely on Bathurst for shops, schools and health care, while the roads linking the area make trips into town straightforward.

The community has 1,272 people, a median age of 38 and a median household income of $1,785 a week (roughly $92,820 a year). Families make up the bulk of households, with couple families with children the largest group, and homes are mostly owner-occupied at about 84.0% (renters around 16.1%). Local infrastructure works include a highway upgrade with wider lanes, a shared path and landscaping, upgrades to the Ralph Cameron Oval playspace, and the Bathurst Regional Airport on PJ Moodie Drive. Whether Raglan suits you comes down to whether you want a quieter, rural pace with room around the home and easy access to Bathurst.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Raglan?

Accepted Answer

Raglan hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable price and rent figures. Without current price or rent figures, the median household income recorded at the last Census alone doesn't show whether housing costs are expensive, so it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live in the suburb 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

Is Raglan a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Raglan rose 8.1% over the past 12 months. For someone weighing Raglan up as an investment, that rise is the capital growth figure to bear in mind for houses.
