Question 1

Is Ilbilbie a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Ilbilbie is a small coastal locality in central Queensland with a quietly rural, seaside feel. Low-density residential lots and a few coastal properties sit beside grazing paddocks, so everyday life is oriented to the outdoors, fishing and relaxed weekend escapes. Housing is mainly single-storey homes and rural blocks rather than suburban streets, and the pace here is unhurried compared with larger towns. The Bruce Highway provides straightforward road access and larger regional centres are within easy reach for services.

With 385 residents and a median age of 53, the community is largely owner-occupied and weighted towards couple households without children. The median household income is $1,222 a week. Council plans for work at the local community facility and a submission to replace bus shelters on the Bruce Highway indicate some local investment in amenities. Whether Ilbilbie suits you will depend on whether you want space and a country-coast lifestyle in an established, settled community.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Ilbilbie?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Ilbilbie to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents. With only the suburb's median household income at the most recent Census ($1,222 a week) available, it's not possible to say 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 Ilbilbie a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Ilbilbie hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable figures on how house or unit prices and rents have moved this year. Without that, there isn't a clear picture of how it has performed as an investment lately.
