George Town, TAS 7253

George town is a beautiful place to live just watch out for the teens that have a big mouth or the younger ones even great foods down here beautiful beaches and great people if your talking to the right person

George Town is the place to be with its own swimming complex, numerous watering holes, beaches within minutes away, many eating out options, a great new kids park and bike track and that’s just to mention a few things. The schools and people are friendly and great and it makes me happy that I purchased my house on George Town 22 years ago.

Have lived here for 13 years and still love the place. It has everything I need and if I want more Launceston is only 35 minutes away. The beaches are awesome and safe. The shops are great and the people are all very friendly and helpful. Moving here was a great decision

Beautiful little town , clean and tidy. Wide variety of food and services and fantastic customer service in our local shops . Friendly and helpful community with lots of support to offer . Fantastic medical services and staff with beautiful beaches not far away what more could you ask for . Besides the best meat pie in Tassie which George Town has too .

George Town is a friendly, laid back community. No traffic lights are within a 35 minute drive, and there are plenty of shops on offer for all your essentials. George Town is a great place to call home.

George Town is a small coastal Town in North East Tasmania. Surrounded by beaches and the Tamar River, George Town has all you need with 3 schools, 2 supermarkets, and a variety of local cafes and restaurants and it is only a 35 Minute's Drive to Launceston if you need anything else. I lived on the mainland for many years, and then made the decision to move here. I have now lived in George Town for 2 years and I love the laid-back feel that the town offers.

I have previously lived in the town and also work in George Town and have done for many years. It has a lovely community feel, lots of sports clubs and community organisations to join. Great beaches nearby, now a world class mountain bike track and a swim/gym centre soon to be built extending the current pool facilities. Lots of choices for places to eat and not far from some great wineries. Easy travel to Launceston.

Our family moved here 3 years ago. We had only been to Tassie on Holidays. When we told people in Tasmania we were moving to George Town they called us crazy. But as mainlanders, this place was everything we could ever dream of. Ocean views, hospitals, shops, schools, parks, beaches, jobs, sports clubs etc. And only 35 minutes to Launceston for anything that wasn't local. You spend double that in traffic in Melbourne just getting to work. Our 3 kids are all under 6. The school for our oldest is wonderful. The local facilities for the toddlers and babies (The hub) is a gem. My local doctor and pharmacist know me by name and are always good for a chat.

The history of the place is also incredible. So much colonial history we love to show our family when they visit. We bought an old housing commission house and renovated. It was $129k to buy. It's now valued at close to $200k. We're hanging onto it while we build our new home, also here in George Town. Demand is also increasing, with homes selling pretty quick, and rentals lasting what seems like minutes.

For the future of George Town things have never looked brighter. So much development happening in Bell Bay with the prospect of thousands of Jobs there. The main street is slowly refurbishing. Business's and shops are opening. There's new houses popping up all over the place.

All in all, we're so glad we moved here when we did. I think there's probably a small window to still move here, because in about 5 years I reckon this will be the premier lifestyle destination to live in North Tasmania, if not all Tasmania. I've fond the folks who belittle are usually locals who left, Tasmanian's who've never been here, or those who haven't been here for 20 years. The community spirit is strong, and it's future is bright.

My wife and I visited George Town on a short holiday and fell in love with it so much we bought our first home there last August. GT and Low Head is a beautiful area definitely with a sense of being on the up both as a place to live and as a visitor location. We were hugely impressed with how friendly the locals are and in our dealings with real estate agents etc -- everyone made us feel welcome. With Launceston's City Deal, plans for a huge bike trail network, a newly launched community action plan to increase visitor numbers and staggering house affordability George Town offers so much for those wishing a sea change no matter what their age. So, so much untapped potential only recently being realised. Now is the perfect time to make the move and be part of a fantastic community.
