Question 1

Is Geebung a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Geebung is an established northern Brisbane suburb with a predominantly low-rise residential character, where weatherboard and brick post-war homes sit alongside newer townhouse infill. It has a neighbourhood feel anchored by a local train station and a handful of shopping strips and cafés for day-to-day needs, while a major retail precinct nearby covers larger shopping trips. Residents use parks, sporting fields and quiet tree-lined streets, and there are pockets of light industry and commercial businesses around the transport corridors.

The community of 4,850 people has a median age of 38 and a median household income of $2,179 a week (about $113,300 a year). Family households are dominant, with couple families with children 47.8% and couple families without children 34.1% together accounting for 81.9% of families. Homes are largely owner-occupied, about 72.9% owned and 27.1% rented. Geebung tends to attract families, tradespeople and commuters, and council and state projects include upgrades to the train station precinct, a planned park-and-ride and additional classrooms at Geebung Special School.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Geebung?

Accepted Answer

On these figures, buying a house in Geebung works out to about 12.5 times a typical local household's annual income as recorded at the last Census, which places buying well above local incomes at that time. Renting looks different: a house at $710 a week would take about 32.6% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share, while a unit at $425 a week would take about 19.5% of that weekly income, a modest share. If you're renting rather than buying, those rent shares are the most relevant numbers to consider.

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 Geebung a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

A notable feature over the past year is the strong rise in house values in Geebung, which climbed 21.4%, a large increase in what houses are worth. Rental income moved more modestly: house rents rose 4.4% and unit rents rose 3.7% over the 12 months, with house rents edging ahead of units. For someone weighing Geebung up as an investment, the value figure speaks to capital growth while the rent figures speak to rental income, and the data show capital growth outpaced rent growth over the year. Whether that balance suits your plans depends on your objectives and circumstances.
