Question 1

Is Wagstaffe a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Wagstaffe is a tiny coastal village on the Bouddi Peninsula, between bushland and the calm waters of Hardys Bay. Housing ranges from older holiday cottages to newer waterfront homes on small, treed blocks, and outdoor life centres on boating, fishing and the walking tracks of Bouddi National Park. A small wharf and the Palm Beach to Wagstaffe to Ettalong ferry give water access, local roads link to neighbouring villages, and shops, cafes and services are nearby in Hardys Bay and Ettalong.

It is a very small community of 240 people with a median age of 60 and a typical household income of $1,892 a week. Households are dominated by couples without children and most dwellings are owner-occupied (86.8%). Local facilities include Wagstaffe Hall and Turo Park with a tennis court and cricket wicket, managed by the community association. The suburb is included in a draft foreshore masterplan that proposes a continuous shared pathway, measures to address erosion and improved access and amenities. Whether Wagstaffe suits you comes down to how much you value a quiet, nature focused coastal setting.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Wagstaffe?

Accepted Answer

Wagstaffe doesn't have enough recent sales or rental data to publish reliable house, unit or rent figures. Because only the local household income is available, it's not possible from these figures to say how expensive it is to live in Wagstaffe compared with what a typical local household 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.

Accepted Answer

Wagstaffe hasn't had enough recent sales to publish reliable figures on how house and unit prices and rents have moved over the past year. Without those figures, it's not possible to say how the suburb has performed as an investment in the last 12 months.
