Question 1

Is Shadforth a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Shadforth is a semi-rural suburb on the outskirts of Albany with a rural-residential feel. Properties sit on larger lots and range from older farmhouses to more contemporary country homes, with small hobby farms and pockets of native bush giving the streets a spacious, green character. It suits people looking for a quieter country lifestyle while staying within easy reach of Albany's shops, schools and services, and local roads link residents to the city and regional routes while the coast and national parkland are not far away.

The community is small, about 715 people, with a median age of 50 and a median household income of $1,361 a week (roughly $70,800 a year). Households are heavily weighted towards couples and most homes are owner-occupied, with roughly nine in ten owned outright or with a mortgage. Local projects such as road upgrades, a completed footpath and support for the Scotsdale/Shadforth Bush Fire Brigade indicate ongoing practical investment in the area.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Shadforth?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Shadforth (6333) to publish reliable house or unit price or rent figures. Without those numbers, and with only the local household income from the most recent Census available, there isn't a clear picture of how expensive it is to live in Shadforth compared with what people there earned at the last Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
