Question 1

Is Robertson a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Robertson is a hilltop village in the Southern Highlands, set among rolling pastures and the rainforest-fringed escarpment of Morton National Park. The town centre has historic buildings, cottage and federation homes alongside hobby farms and garden-filled blocks, giving a relaxed country atmosphere. Residents range from long-standing farming families to artists and people seeking a quieter lifestyle, and weekends draw visitors to the Big Potato, cosy cafes, antique shops and nearby walking tracks and lookouts.

It is a small community of 2,017 people with a median age of 47 and a median household income of $1,736 a week (roughly $90,300 a year). Families are largely couple-based and most homes are owner-occupied (47.2% owned outright and 38.7% with a mortgage, a combined 85.9%), with 14.1% rented. Council-led place improvements are under way, including park upgrades at Hampden Park, footpath extension design, school maintenance and other local projects, and regular monthly sessions by a Place Liaison Officer and the Wingecarribee mobile library. That mix points to a settled, small highlands village that will suit people after country-style living, families, hobby farmers or artists; whether it fits you comes down to what you want from a community.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Robertson?

Accepted Answer

If you're looking to rent in Robertson, a house at about $700 a week would take roughly 40.3% of a typical local household's weekly income as recorded at the most recent Census, a large share of that income. For people renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure that matters when weighing costs here.

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 Robertson a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months house values in Robertson climbed 11.6%, a strong rise, while house rents increased 9.7%, a solid gain. For someone weighing Robertson up as an investment, that means capital growth on houses has slightly outpaced rental income growth this year, with house prices the marginally stronger performer. Whether that balance suits you depends on your own goals and circumstances.
