Question 1

Is Alexandra a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Alexandra is a quiet, semi-rural Mackay suburb of low-lying farmland and pockets of bushland, with the Peak Downs Highway running through it.

The community is made up largely of couples without children at home, with 62.3% of families in that group and many households buying their homes. Housing mixes single-storey dwellings and rural-residential properties on larger lots, local access is by road and main routes provide straightforward links to shopping and services, and surrounding paddocks and small reserves give the area a spacious, green aspect.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Alexandra?

Accepted Answer

The ABS recorded a median household weekly income of $1,974 in Alexandra at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Alexandra to publish reliable prices or rents for houses or units. Without those figures, there isn't a clear picture of how expensive it is to live in Alexandra 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.

Question 3
