Question 1

Is Dolphin Point a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Dolphin Point is a small coastal locality with native coastal vegetation and a mix of single-storey homes and holiday cottages with sea or headland outlooks.

The community is older, with many households owning their homes outright (51.2%). Everyday shops and services are in the nearby regional centre, and local roads link the suburb to other south coast towns. Recreation revolves around the water and the rugged shoreline, with boating, fishing and coastal walks common pastimes. Council completed Stage 1 of the Dolphin Point Road footpath, and Stage 2 has received an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Dolphin Point?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Dolphin Point to publish reliable house or unit prices or typical rents, so there aren't current price or rent figures here to compare with local incomes. For context, a typical local household earned about $1,488 a week at the most recent Census, but that income on its own does not show whether housing costs in Dolphin Point are high or low.

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