Question 1

Is Eton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Eton is a small rural township in the Mackay region, set among broad sugarcane fields and noted for the Eton Range Realignment Project on the Peak Downs Highway, completed.

Incomes in Eton are above the Queensland median and many households are buying their homes, with couples with children making up 47.3% of families. Local life revolves around agricultural activity and community facilities, and regional roads connect the town to larger service centres and markets.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Eton?

Accepted Answer

In Eton, a typical local household earned about $2,024 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Eton to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live here 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.

Question 3

Is Eton a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Eton hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable figures on how its house or unit values and rents have moved, which can happen in smaller or quieter markets. Without those figures, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment.
