Question 1

Is Farleigh a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Farleigh is a rural locality set among broad sugarcane plains and small cropping properties, and it is the site of a Bruce Highway Farleigh–Habana Road intersection upgrade.

The community is older, incomes are above the median for Queensland and many households own their homes outright, with couples with children the largest family group at 46.6% of families. Road connections give straightforward access to services and shopping in Mackay, while local lanes carry farm vehicles and make for easy country drives, and life here is shaped by agriculture, seasonal harvest activity and pockets of remnant bushland.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Farleigh?

Accepted Answer

At the most recent Census, a typical household in Farleigh had a weekly income of $2,160. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Farleigh to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so it's not 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 Farleigh a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Farleigh hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable figures on how its prices or rents have moved. Without that, there isn't a clear picture of how it has performed as an investment.
