Three useful questions
The median house price is $1,110,000, while units and apartments sit at $698,000. Bedroom count, land and condition still create a wide range around those suburb medians.
The Census counted 651 local families, and 29.7% of residents were under 15. That describes the community; school quality, travel times and the right fit for a particular family need separate research.
Larger houses have a median around $1,350,000, the closest bedroom benchmark we hold to a $1.5m budget. Individual homes can differ substantially with block size, renovation and location.
