Question 1

Is Herron a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Herron is a quiet coastal-rural suburb on the eastern shore of the Harvey Estuary in the Shire of Murray. Its low-density, semi-rural character is shaped by bushland, wetlands and foreshore reserves, and housing ranges from lifestyle blocks and riverside cottages to newer single-storey homes. The lifestyle is outdoors oriented, with boating, fishing, birdwatching and bushwalking popular thanks to direct estuary access and peaceful waterways. The Old Coast Road provides the main coastal link and larger shopping, services and rail connections are found in nearby Mandurah.

With a small population of 438, a median age of 51 and a median household income of $2,097 a week, Herron is overwhelmingly owner-occupied (91.7% owned outright or with a mortgage) and families are dominated by couples, who account for 86.3% of families. There are no significant new public infrastructure projects reported, and the historic Herron Homestead is recorded in the Heritage Council inHerit database. Whether Herron suits you will come down to whether you want a low-density, estuary-side, outdoors-oriented community.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Herron?

Accepted Answer

Herron hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without current price or rent data, and with only the local household income recorded at the most recent Census, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Herron 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.
