Question 1

Is Karridale a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Karridale is a small rural village on the Leeuwin-Naturaliste ridge, set among karri forest and open farmland between Margaret River and Augusta. It feels country rather than suburban, with timber cottages, farmhouses and acreage blocks creating a low-density, village atmosphere that attracts people after a quieter lifestyle, retirees and those who commute to the larger towns. Outdoor life is prominent, with forest walks, coastal reserves and surf beaches nearby, while Caves Road provides the main link to the region's wineries and shops; local services within the village itself are limited.

The community numbers 317 people and has a median age of 48, and families are dominated by couples without children (51.9%). Homes are largely owner-occupied (77.6%) and median household income is $1,359 a week. There has been recent utility work completed by Western Power, and the Shire has several planned or feasibility-stage projects such as a water tank for the hall and brigade, a community garden, new pathways and a campground upgrade. Whether Karridale suits you will depend on how much value you place on tranquillity and outdoor access versus having extensive local services close by.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Karridale?

Accepted Answer

Karridale hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so there isn't a clear picture of how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes. The ABS recorded a median total household income of $1,359 a week in Karridale as at the most recent Census, but that income figure alone can't show whether housing costs here are high or low.

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 Karridale a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer
