Question 1

Is Tinderbox a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Tinderbox sits on the Tinderbox Peninsula south of Hobart and has a rural-residential, retreat-like atmosphere among rugged coastal bushland and a quiet shoreline. Daily life centres on the water and the bush: boating, fishing and coastal walks are on residents' doorstep, and the fully protected Tinderbox Marine Reserve gives reefs, kelp forests and shore snorkel and dive sites. The suburb’s single-lane concrete boat ramp provides small-boat access, though use is restricted at low tide.

With about 392 residents and a median age of 52, the community is small and heavily weighted to couple families, and homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied. Typical household income is $2,303 a week. Local shops and services are limited so people rely on nearby town centres and road access is the primary way in and out. Onshore reserves, including the Peter Murrell Reserves and the extended tracks through Kingborough Council’s Tinderbox Hills Reserve into the Tasmanian Land Conservancy’s Tinderbox Hills Reserve, offer walking, horse-riding and cycling and plentiful birdlife.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Tinderbox?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Tinderbox to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. Without those figures, there isn't a clear picture of 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.

Question 3

Is Tinderbox a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales in Tinderbox (7054) to publish reliable 12-month figures showing how house and unit prices and rents have moved. Without that information, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment over the past year.
