Question 1

Is Anakie a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Anakie sits on the edge of the Brisbane Ranges and is defined by rugged bushland, rocky outcrops and walking routes into Anakie Gorge. It is dominated by hobby farms, established farmhouses and rural residential blocks among paddocks and native eucalypts, so day to day life has a quiet, country feel. Residents often seek a lifestyle block or a quieter family setting, frequently keeping horses or running small-scale agriculture, while relying on nearby Geelong for major services. Local life centres on a modest village strip and community facilities, with easy road access to regional centres and the coast.

Anakie is a community of 734 people with a median age of 43. The median household income is $1,940 a week, roughly $100,880 a year.

Household mix is strongly family oriented: 106 couple families with children represent 52.5%, and a further 83 couple families without children make up 41.1%, a combined 93.6% of families. One-parent families number 13, or 6.4%.

In Anakie, homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied. One hundred and six households (44.4%) own outright and 120 (50.2%) own with a mortgage, together comprising 94.6% of homes, while renters total 13 households, or 5.4%.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Anakie?

Accepted Answer

Anakie hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without those figures, there's no clear way to compare housing costs with local household incomes recorded at the last Census.

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

Is Anakie a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales in Anakie over the past year to produce reliable figures for how house or unit values and rents have changed. That means there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment this year.
