Question 1

Is Stieglitz a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Stieglitz is a small coastal suburb on Tasmania's north-east, on the fringe of St Helens and Georges Bay, with a seaside, outdoor-focused character. It is low-density and residential, mixing longstanding holiday cottages and newer coastal houses, many with bay or waterway outlooks. Life there centres on the water with easy access to beaches, estuary shorelines and boating or fishing, while shops, services and community facilities in nearby St Helens are within easy reach. The community of 595 people has a median age of 60 and is dominated by couple households, and most homes are owner-occupied (81.3%).

There are active council and state plans to improve Georges Bay foreshore access, extend the walking and cycling path through to the Stieglitz foreshore, and to investigate upgrades or relocation of the Stieglitz boat ramp to improve access at low tide. Those projects would strengthen walking, cycling and boating access and build on the suburb’s existing seaside lifestyle, whether that suits you depends on the pace and setting you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Stieglitz?

Accepted Answer

At the current median house price of $525,000, buying in Stieglitz works out to about 12.7 times a typical local household's annual income as recorded at the last Census. That annual figure comes from the weekly median household income of $797, which is $41,444 a year, and it shows house prices sit well above what households were earning at the last Census. If you're looking at buying rather than renting, that price-to-income multiple is the key number to bear in mind; whether it feels expensive will depend on your own circumstances.

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