Question 1

Is Saddleworth a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Saddleworth is a small Mid North town in the Clare and Gilbert Valleys set among broadacre cropping and grazing country with rolling hills and gum-lined creeks. It has the feel of a traditional country township, centred on a compact main street with a handful of heritage stone buildings, a pub and community facilities, and housing that ranges from modest cottages to farmsteads. Life there is rural and steady, shaped by agriculture and local sport, while regional roads make nearby towns and the Clare Valley wine region accessible for work, shopping and weekend outings.

The community of 483 people has a median age of 55 and a median household income of $894 a week, roughly $46,500 a year. Households are dominated by couple families without children and about four in five homes are owner-occupied rather than rented. There are no significant new infrastructure projects reported at present, though the council-managed recreation ground and the community caravan park at Johnson Park have seen local upgrades, including a new shade structure over the playground. Whether Saddleworth suits you will come down to whether a small, established rural town with local sport and nearby regional centres fits your needs.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Saddleworth?

Accepted Answer

At present, there haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Saddleworth (SA 5413) to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. Without those figures, and with only the suburb's median household income at the last Census available, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live here 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.

Accepted Answer
