Question 1

Is Alberton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Alberton is a small rural township with tree-lined streets, timber weatherboard cottages and a modest main street, close to wetlands, estuaries and local fishing spots.

The community is small and older, with incomes below the Victorian median and 54.6% of homes owned outright; local services are concentrated along the town's main street and regional roads provide links to nearby towns and the coast, while nearby wetlands and estuaries support a range of outdoor pursuits. The Welshpool–Alberton extension of the Great Southern Rail Trail was completed and officially opened.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Alberton?

Accepted Answer

A typical local household in Alberton earned about $956 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Alberton to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
