Question 1

Is Raglan a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Raglan is a small rural locality of farmland, rural-residential blocks and pockets of native trees and creeks, where housing is mostly single-acre and larger properties with farmhouses and simple cottages rather than dense suburban streets. Daily life tends to revolve around the land and the outdoors, with local roads linking residents to nearby towns for shops, schools and services. The community is very small — 223 people with a median age of 53 — and the typical household income is $1,068 a week (about $55,500 a year).

Families in Raglan are dominated by couples, with couple families without children the largest group and, together with couple families with children, making up roughly four in five families. Most homes are owner-occupied, with 57.1% owned outright and 36.3% owned with a mortgage. The area is part of the Pyrenees Futures township planning program and the shire has completed road and hall upgrades and is working through a flood investigation for local planning. That mix suits people after space, privacy and a slower rural pace outside larger regional centres.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Raglan?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent home sales or rentals in Raglan to publish reliable median prices or rents, so it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes. The ABS median total household income in Raglan is recorded as $1,068 a week at the most recent Census, but that income figure alone doesn't let us judge current housing costs.

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

Raglan hasn't had enough recent sales to publish reliable figures on how house or unit prices and rents moved over the past year, so there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment recently.
