Question 1

Is Buxton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Buxton is a quiet rural-residential locality in the Fraser Coast with acreage properties, open paddocks, pockets of native bush and tree-lined country roads.

Buxton has an older community where most families are couples without children and many households own their homes outright (63.9%). Local life centres on rural pursuits and outdoor activity, including small-scale farming, horse keeping and bushland walks, and regional roads link residents to services and shopping in nearby Hervey Bay and Maryborough. An upgrade to the Bruce Highway and Buxton Road intersection at Isis River is due to start construction, with works planned to add dedicated right and left turn lanes into Buxton Road and the nearby service station.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Buxton?

Accepted Answer

A typical local household in Buxton earned about $796 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable price and rent figures, so it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Buxton 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.
