Question 1

Is Wattle Hill a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Wattle Hill is a quiet, semi-rural suburb on the fringe of Sorell, made up of small-acreage lifestyle blocks, established farms and pockets of native bush. Streets are generally spacious and unhurried and housing ranges from older farmhouses to newer family homes on larger lots, so it suits people who want country living without being isolated from town. Everyday services and shops are in nearby Sorell, and coastal beaches and waterways of the south-east are within easy reach for weekend recreation; local roads link to regional routes for commuting and errands.

It is a small community of 176 people with a median age of 43 and a typical household income of $1,649 a week (about $85,748 a year). Families are dominated by couples — 39.0% are couple families with children and 40.7% are couple families without children — and homes are largely owner-occupied (44.8% owned outright and 43.3% with a mortgage, totalling 88.1%), while renters make up 11.9%. Council has carried out roadside work on Nugent Road, including guardrail installations, and lists further works and reconstruction for Nugent Road; Sunnyside Bridge and Swanny’s Bridge are maintained as council-registered bridges. Whether that suits you comes down to what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Wattle Hill?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Wattle Hill to publish reliable house or unit prices or average rents, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes. The only figure available is the suburb's median total household income as recorded at the most recent Census, and that alone does not give a clear picture of housing costs.

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 Wattle Hill a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales in Wattle Hill to publish reliable figures on how house and unit prices or rents have moved over the past year. Without those numbers, it's not possible to describe how the suburb has performed as an investment lately.
