Question 1

Is Wilmot a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Wilmot is a small rural village set among rolling farmland, pockets of native bush and country waterways. It has a quietly practical country character and appeals to people after space for hobby farming, bushland living or a slower pace of life. Homes range from older weatherboard cottages to farmhouse residences and rural blocks, and community life centres on modest local facilities and events. Basic services are available in town, while larger shopping, schools and health services are found in the bigger coastal towns a short drive away. Walking, fishing and rural touring are part of everyday life.

With 287 residents, a median age of 54 and a typical household income of $919 a week (about $47,800 a year), Wilmot is a small, largely owner-occupied community. Families make up the bulk of households, led by couple families without children (58.8%) and couple families with children (30.9%). Local council work has focused on parks and community buildings, including a Lake Barrington Park master plan and upgrades to halls, streetscape, heating and signage. Whether Wilmot suits you depends on whether you want rural space and a quieter pace or closer access to larger town services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Wilmot?

Accepted Answer

There aren't enough recent sales or rental records for Wilmot to produce reliable house and unit price or rent figures, so it's not possible to say how expensive housing is there compared with local incomes. The ABS median household income is recorded at the most recent Census, but without current prices or rents we can't compare housing costs to that local income.

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 Wilmot a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rental records in Wilmot over the past 12 months to publish reliable figures for how house or unit values and rents have moved. That means these statistics don't provide a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment during the year.
