Question 1

Is Brookton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Brookton is a small Wheatbelt town that serves surrounding grain and livestock farms. Its main street of older commercial and heritage buildings houses essential shops and a handful of cafés and pubs, and community life moves at a relaxed country pace around sporting clubs, a community hall and regular local events. Homes range from weatherboard cottages and brick residences on generous blocks to rural properties and farmsteads, with native bush and seasonal wildflowers nearby, and road links keep Perth within practical reach.

The community of 732 people has a median age of 51 and a median total household income of $1,189 a week, roughly $61,828 a year. Household composition is strongly family-oriented and about 74.4% of dwellings are owner-occupied. The Shire is investing in local facilities and infrastructure, and there are ongoing regional transport works on the Brookton Highway alongside planning work for the Brookton Railway Station. Whether Brookton suits you will come down to what you want from a regional, service-centred country town.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Brookton?

Accepted Answer

Brookton hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. With only the median household income at the last Census, $1,189 a week, available, there isn't enough information to show how housing costs compare with what local households earned 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 Brookton a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Brookton climbed 38.7% over the past 12 months, a strong rise that indicates capital growth on the house side during that period. If rental income is your priority, the rent figures are the ones that matter; whether this house value movement fits your investment goals depends on your own circumstances.
