Lifestyle Profile

Leafy and open, the visual appeal of Cheltenham lies in its low-density layout. It avoids the claustrophobia of the inner-city, offering residents a sense of space and sky.

At a community level, Cheltenham is defined by family activity. Weekends see the local parks filled with junior sports, and the demographic is heavily skewed towards households with school-aged children.

For active residents, the area delivers. The abundance of green belts, cycle paths, and council-maintained sporting facilities adds a layer of 'health and wellness' to the local lifestyle.

The Demographic Profile

Understanding the resident base is key to understanding the market floor. Local data suggests a median household income of approx $90,000. This places Cheltenham in a bracket where dual-income households are the norm for mortgage serviceability. It reflects a competitive environment where buyers are likely professional couples or established families.

Education & Catchments

School catchment zones are a primary driver of long-term property demand. The area is serviced by facilities such as Beaumaris North Primary School. For many buyers, the presence of local schooling creates a 'village' feel and ensures consistent demand from young families moving into the area.
