Question 1

Is Shadforth a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Shadforth is home to the Mount Shadforth Nature Reserve and has the Mount Shadforth Road reconstruction at Stage 2.

Residents form an older community and 57.1% of homes are owned outright. Housing is mostly single-storey farmhouses and newer rural residences on generous lots, with trees and fences rather than footpaths. Local services are limited, so people use Albany for shops, schools and health services, regional roads link to neighbouring towns, and everyday life centres on outdoor pursuits, small-scale farming and garden plots.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Shadforth?

Accepted Answer

Shadforth's typical household earned about $1,361 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Shadforth to publish reliable median 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.

Is Shadforth a good place to invest?
