Question 1

Is Booral a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Booral is a semi-rural suburb near Hervey Bay with large lots, pockets of bushland, tree-lined lanes and nearby coastal waterways and wetlands.

The community is older, with many households owning their homes outright and with couples without children the largest family group. Amenities inside Booral are modest, so most retail and services are found in nearby Hervey Bay and local village centres, while local roads provide straightforward access to schools, shops and the waterfront and the waterways and wetlands are used for birdwatching and outdoor recreation. The Booral Road, Bunya Creek floodway and Main Street intersection upgrade is in planning.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Booral?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent home sales or rentals in Booral to produce reliable current price and rent figures. Without those numbers, there isn't a clear picture of how expensive housing is in the suburb 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.
