Question 1

Is Kamerunga a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Kamerunga is a leafy, low-density suburb on Cairns' western edge beside the Barron River and the rainforest-clad foothills of the Kuranda Range. The neighbourhood has larger blocks, established timber and brick homes and pockets of newer build, and riverside reserves and walking tracks make outdoor recreation easy. Nearby Freshwater and Stratford provide shops and services, and major roads keep the city and airport within straightforward reach. The community numbers 962 residents.

Households are mainly families, and high owner-occupation at 84.1% points to a settled, owner-occupied character. Kamerunga is in the path of Powerlink Queensland’s Kamerunga to Woree Replacement Project, which proposes a replacement overhead line, an underground transmission cable and a new substation in Barron, and there are road upgrades and planning for duplication of the Cairns Western Arterial Road including a new bridge over the Barron River and improved paths for cyclists and pedestrians. Whether that suits you depends on whether you want room, greenery and easy access to nearby services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Kamerunga?

Accepted Answer

In Kamerunga, a house rent of $700 a week would take about 33.3% of a typical local household's weekly income as recorded at the most recent Census. On these figures that is a sizeable share of income, so if you are renting rather than buying that rent number is the one that matters when you judge how expensive the suburb feels.

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 Kamerunga a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months the median value of houses in Kamerunga edged down 1.5%.

That movement is the suburb’s capital-value picture for houses over the year; if capital growth is your priority, it’s the figure to weigh against your goals. Whether that outcome fits your investment objectives and circumstances is something only you can decide.
