Question 1

Is Tacoma a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Tacoma is a small waterside suburb on the Central Coast with single-storey brick and weatherboard homes and some waterfront lots. It sits beside foreshore and bush reserves, so life leans towards the outdoors, with walking, boating and fishing on nearby waterways. Local shops and community facilities are modest; Tacoma Public School is in the suburb, but residents commonly head to neighbouring centres for bigger retail and rail connections.

The community of 615 has a median age of 40. Families form the core of the suburb, with couple families with and without children making up 77.2% of families, and housing is predominantly owner-occupied (82.3%) with 17.8% rented. Tacoma tends to attract families and retirees looking for a quieter coastal setting while remaining within easy reach of regional amenities, so whether it suits you will depend on how much you value waterside access versus immediate access to larger shops and rail.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Tacoma?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Tacoma, NSW to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes. The ABS median total household income shown on this page is a Census figure, so it reflects what a typical local household earned at the most recent Census rather than today.

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

Is Tacoma a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer
