Question 1

Is Lockyer a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Lockyer features a mix of older and newer houses, established street trees and the redeveloped Mount Lockyer Primary School.

The community has incomes below the Western Australian median and 47.7% of homes are rented, though most properties are owner-occupied, with couples without children the largest family group. Local roads and public buses connect Lockyer to Albany's shops and services, neighbourhood reserves, sports grounds and playgrounds provide everyday outdoor space, the approved South Lockyer Structure Plan covers about 92 hectares to guide future residential and mixed-use subdivision in the south Lockyer area, and the wider Great Southern coastline and nearby national parkland are within easy reach for bushwalking and coastal recreation.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Lockyer?

Accepted Answer

In Lockyer, a typical household had a weekly income of about $904 at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Lockyer 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.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
