What's Tighes Hill Like?
The data tells the story: median weekly income has TRIPLED from $681 to $2,084 since 2006. That's not gentrification in progress - that's gentrification largely complete.\n\nSandwiched between Hamilton (expensive) and Islington (edgy), Tighes Hill quietly became the middle-ground sweet spot. TAFE provides stability and foot traffic, the workers' cottages are mostly renovated now, and the $1.3M median reflects the transformation. Livable today with genuine community, but the value play has narrowed.
