Question 1

Is Truro a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Truro is a small rural township on the agricultural plains where they meet the Barossa wine region. It acts as a quiet service centre for surrounding farms, with a handful of historic buildings, a country pub and community facilities. Housing ranges from weatherboard cottages and stone farmhouses to larger rural blocks, so life is low density and largely car based along country roads. That mix suits families, retirees and people who work on nearby vineyards or in regional towns.

The community has 523 residents and a median age of 42, and it is weighted towards families: couple families with children are 43.5% and together with couple families without children make up 84.5% of families. Home ownership is high, with 86.2% owner-occupied and 13.8% renting. The Sturt Highway corridor has had pavement works through Truro, planning investigations are underway for a Truro bypass, and a proposal to move local government alignment toward The Barossa Council has been considered by the Local Government Boundaries Commission.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Truro?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Truro to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes. For reference, a typical local household earned about $1,658 a week at the most recent Census, but that income figure on its own doesn't show whether buying or renting in Truro is expensive.

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 Truro a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales in Truro to publish reliable 12-month figures for how house and unit values and rents have moved. Without those figures, there isn't a clear picture of how it has performed as an investment over the past year.
