"Inexpensive options to enter the market as well as lovely luxurious homes too."
George Town is a beautiful seaside town on the mouth of the Tamar River. Many years ago George Town was thought only of an idustrial town as nearby Bell Bay is home to BHP Billton's manganese plant and RioTinto's aluminium smelter, thus bringing many workers to the local area when it first began to grow. However, George Town has come a long way since those days, now home to many young families, retired couples and many friendly people from all walks of life. The South George Town and Pipe Clay Bay area is a growing, modern area with lovely views of the Tamar and out to Low Head. 5 minutes from stunning beaches at Low Head and an easy 35 minute drive on our new 80 million dollar highway sees you arrive at Launceston where shopping and nightlife is good, or it's also an easy commute to a job if you're not lucky enough to find one locally in the town. George Town has had it's day of outsiders knocking it for whatever reason; we welcome new and enthusiastic people who we are sure will soon fall in love with this beautiful, historic place that we are so lucky to be able to call home!

There are no shops southside, alas. There was an IGA Express and a fish 'n' chip shop. The former has been closed for years, the fisho more recently. You can get fish, and fish 'n' chips at the "fish factory" southside though, although not open for dinner. There are some "nice" areas closer to Woolies. It's worth remembering that Low Head has no shops at all either, they're further from town, and that's really upmarket compared to GT.
Are there shops and other services in the areas you mention? They don't come up on Google maps or when I Google those areas. They do look excellent, but I'd prefer somewhere I don't have to use the car to get to the shops all the time.
