Question 1

Is Buxton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Buxton is a small, low-density suburb on Queensland’s Fraser Coast with a semi-rural character. Larger blocks, established trees and mostly single-storey homes create a relaxed, outdoorsy pace. The community of 507 has a median age of 63 and a typical household income of $796 a week, roughly $41,400 a year, and residents tend to include families and retirees who value space and quieter streets while travelling into Maryborough or Hervey Bay for schools, shops and health services.

Local streets are primarily residential, with ready access to the coast, waterways and the Burrum Coast National Park for boating, fishing and bushwalking. The Buxton Community Hall is a council-managed local facility, and the locality sits on the edge of a state and federal road safety upgrade to the Bruce Highway and Buxton Road intersection at Isis River funded under the Bruce Highway Safety Package with a $12.5 million allocation. Whether Buxton suits you comes down to whether you want a quieter, semi-rural base within reach of regional centres.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Buxton?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Buxton to publish reliable house or unit price and rent figures. Without those figures, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Buxton compared 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 Buxton a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Buxton rose 9.2% over the past 12 months, a solid gain in the suburb's median house price and the clearest movement available for Buxton this year. If capital growth is your primary concern, that is the figure to consider; there isn't enough recent data for the other measures to give a fuller picture.
