Question 1

Is Capella a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Capella is a small rural service town with a compact main street of shops, a hotel and service businesses. Community life centres on sporting grounds and on regular events tied to the town's agricultural and mining hinterland.

The community is young, with 45.3% of homes rented while most homes remain owner-occupied, and couples with children are the largest family group. The town contains essential public facilities, a modest commercial strip and services that support surrounding farms and regional industry, residents use regional roads to reach larger centres, and the Bridgeman Park Clubhouse was completed.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Capella?

Accepted Answer

A typical house in Capella rents for about $435 a week. Against a typical local household income of $1,838 a week at the last Census, that rent would take about 24% of income, a moderate share. If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the most relevant figure for comparing costs to local earnings.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
