Question 1

Is Apple Tree Creek a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Apple Tree Creek is a small rural town with a country-village feel, a compact township beside a creek and a surrounding patchwork of farmland, grazing country and native bush. The community of 726 has a median age of 49 and a median total household income of $991 a week. Households are dominated by couple families, and most homes are owner-occupied (85.0%), which contributes to a settled, largely owner-occupied community profile.

Local life centres on modest shops and community facilities, and the Apple Tree Creek Community Park has been upgraded with new play equipment, barbecue shelters, pathways and improved parking and amenities. A rest-stop upgrade concept including a dog off-leash area has been progressed, and state and federal road programs list planning and staged works on nearby highways and connecting corridors. That mix tends to suit multi-generational farming families and people after larger blocks and older timber homes with more space than the coast offers; whether it suits you depends on what you are looking for in a town.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Apple Tree Creek?

Accepted Answer

A house renting for $530 a week in Apple Tree Creek would take about 53.5% of the median total household income of $991 a week as recorded at the most recent Census. On these figures, that rent would use a large share of what a typical local household earned at the last Census.

If you are renting in Apple Tree Creek, that rent share is the number that matters; whether it feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances.

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