Question 1

Is White Rock a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

White Rock is a semi-rural suburb on the outskirts of Bathurst, where open paddocks and pockets of native bush sit alongside low-density, rural-residential housing. Properties tend to be on larger blocks, so the area appeals to families, hobby farmers and people after a quieter country lifestyle while retaining easy access to Bathurst's shops, schools and services. The community of 807 people has a median age of 38 and is strongly family-oriented, with 61.5% of households made up of couple families with children. Homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied, with 94.9% owned outright or with a mortgage.

There is no large commercial centre within White Rock itself and the suburb is defined by winding local roads and space for gardens, sheds and outdoor pursuits. A reconstruction and widening of White Rock Road between Lee Street and Wallaroi Close is planned, including pavement and drainage work over about 850 metres; the council advised there will be a temporary road closure with a 23-kilometre detour and that two-way traffic will be managed by signage and traffic controllers. Whether White Rock suits you depends on whether you value larger blocks and a country feel close to a regional centre.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in White Rock?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in White Rock to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents. With only the local median household income recorded, it isn't possible to say how expensive it is to live in White Rock compared with what people there were earning 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.

Question 3

Is White Rock a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

White Rock hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable figures on how house or unit values and rents have changed over the year. Without that, there isn't a clear picture of how it has performed as an investment lately.
