Question 1

Is Jones Hill a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Jones Hill is a semi-rural suburb on the outskirts of Gympie that blends country space with easy access to town services. Rolling, tree-studded blocks and a mix of hobby farms and low-density residential lots give open outlooks and a quieter pace of life. Road connections including the Bruce Highway make travel straightforward, and the local green spaces and rural scenery suit people after more land without being isolated from Gympie's shops, schools and medical services.

The community of 1,135 people has a median age of 38 and is weighted towards couple families, and most homes are owner-occupied rather than rented. There is active investment in local infrastructure, including major works at the Jones Hill Water Treatment Plant and a recently delivered reservoir, and Jones Hill State School is planned for upgrades such as a new multipurpose sports court and improved access. Whether Jones Hill suits you will depend on how much you value semi-rural space with easy town access.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Jones Hill?

Accepted Answer

At $620 a week, renting a house in Jones Hill would use about 40% of a typical local household's weekly income as recorded at the most recent Census. For renters, that is a large share of income and so rent would take a sizeable portion of what a typical household earned at the last Census.

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 Jones Hill a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values climbed a strong 16.6% over the past 12 months, while house rents rose a modest 3.3% over the same period. In Jones Hill this year, capital growth on houses has outpaced growth in rental income, so the price movement is the more notable figure for someone weighing the suburb up as an investment. Which of those outcomes matters more to you will depend on your own goals and circumstances.
