Question 1

Is Broughton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Broughton is a semi-rural suburb on the outskirts of Charters Towers with a quiet country feel, larger residential lots, grazing paddocks and pockets of native bush. It suits people looking for a low-density lifestyle where outdoor space and practical single-storey homes or acreage properties are common. Residents rely on nearby Charters Towers for shops, schools and health services while enjoying open skies, an unhurried pace and easy access to regional roads for travel to coastal and inland centres.

The small community of 714 has a median age of 42 and high home ownership, about 87% owner-occupied and 13% rented. Around four in ten households are couple families, with or without children, and roughly one in six are one-parent families. Whether Broughton suits you depends on how much you value space, open skies and an unhurried rural-edge lifestyle while relying on Charters Towers for day-to-day services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Broughton?

Accepted Answer

Broughton doesn't have enough recent sales or rental records to publish reliable median house or unit prices, or average rents. At the most recent Census the median total household income in Broughton was $1,676 a week, but without current price or rent figures it's not possible to say how expensive housing is here 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

Is Broughton a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Broughton doesn't have enough recent sales or rental records to publish reliable 12-month changes in house and unit values or in rents. Without that information, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb performed as an investment over the past year.
