Three useful questions
There is not yet enough consistent market data for a dependable house median. The nearby suburb links make it easier to compare the wider market while local observations build.
The Census counted 48 local families, and 15.6% of residents were under 15. That describes the community; school quality, travel times and the right fit for a particular family need separate research.
The free data does not have a dependable bedroom breakdown for this suburb. Compare the current house and unit medians above, then use live listings to see what a $1.5m budget buys today.
Medians describe recorded market activity across the suburb; they are historical context, not a valuation or forecast for an individual home.
