Question 1

Is Cluden a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Cluden is a southern Townsville suburb centred on the Cluden Racecourse and adjacent parkland. It has a quiet, semi-rural character compared with inner localities, with a mix of low-density housing, small rural lots and light industrial pockets. Many older homes sit on leafy streets while larger properties lie toward the outskirts. The Bruce Highway and the North Coast railway line run nearby, and residents use neighbouring suburbs for shopping, schools and other services.

It is a small community of 413 people with a median age of 48. Family households are dominated by couples, with couple families without children 47.3% and with children 32.1% together about eight in ten, and most homes are owner-occupied, 34.9% owned outright and 42.9% with a mortgage. The Cluden Racecourse, including a heritage-listed grandstand and related facilities, has seen multi-million-dollar redevelopment and upgraded stabling with 100 new race-day tie-up stalls. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you are looking for in a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Cluden?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Cluden to publish reliable house or unit prices or average rents, so current housing cost figures aren't available for the suburb. With only the local median household income at the last Census on record, it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in Cluden based on housing costs.

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