Question 1

Is Broulee a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Broulee is a compact coastal village centred on a long surf beach, Broulee Headland and the tidal Broulee Island Nature Reserve, with rock-platform fishing, headland walks and sheltered swimming on calmer days. It has a relaxed atmosphere and a mix of older beach cottages, low-rise newer homes and holiday rentals that bring a seasonal influx of visitors. A modest village strip supplies cafés and everyday services, while larger shopping and health facilities are in nearby Batemans Bay and Moruya.

The community of 1,947 people has a median age of 50 and is dominated by couple households; about 76.9% of homes are owner-occupied. Broulee is connected by the Princes Highway and regional links at Moruya, so residents have ready access to both bush and sea. Recent council investment and local plans have focused on park and surf-club upgrades, improved pedestrian links and coastal dune management, which shapes how the village will be managed and used going forward.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Broulee?

Accepted Answer

In Broulee, a typical house rent of $650 a week would take about 48% of the median local household weekly income of $1,355 as recorded at the most recent Census, which is a large share of income. This rent-as-income share is the most direct way to see how renting would sit against what a typical local household earned at the last Census.

If you're looking at renting, that share is the key figure to consider; whether it feels expensive will depend 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.
