Question 1

Is Sassafras a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Sassafras is a small rural township in north-west Tasmania set among rolling pastoral paddocks and scattered native trees. The built character is mainly farmhouses, weatherboard cottages and acreage lifestyle blocks, and life there leans towards a quiet country pace. The village provides a modest cluster of local services and community facilities, while surrounding roads open onto scenic drives, bushland and outdoor recreation, and regional centres such as Devonport and Latrobe and the north coast are within easy reach.

The community is weighted towards families, with couple families (with and without children) making up the large majority of reported families. About four in five homes are owner-occupied; the population is 352, median age 46 and median household income $1,411 a week. Sassafras is directly affected by planned upgrades to the Bass Highway and an irrigation scheme augmentation is under delivery. For people who want space, a garden outlook and a settled, owner-occupied rural setting, Sassafras presents that kind of lifestyle; whether it suits you comes down to what you value in a community.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Sassafras?

Accepted Answer

As recorded at the most recent Census, the median total household income in Sassafras was $1,411 a week. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Sassafras to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so 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.
