Question 1

Is Marbelup a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Marbelup is a rural locality near Albany, defined by rolling farmland, native bush and small creeks.

Many households are buying their homes and incomes are above the median for Western Australia, and most families are couple families with children (50.7%); residents rely on Albany for shops, schools and health facilities, and local life is shaped by outdoor pursuits, working land and exploring nearby bushland along country roads and creek corridors. Marbelup sits inside the alignment of the Albany Ring Road, where stages 2 and 3b had a clearing permit granted and construction of the Menang Drive and Chester Pass Road flyover has begun.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Marbelup?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Marbelup to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. The median household income recorded at the most recent Census was $2,193 a week, and with only that income it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes.
