Question 1

Is Maroon a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Maroon is a small rural locality in the Scenic Rim centred on a village and surrounded by grazing country and bushland, with Mount Maroon and Lake Maroon its most recognisable natural features. It suits people after country life, with hobby farms, acreage properties and older timber or brick homes rather than dense suburban streets. Outdoor recreation is part of everyday life, from bushwalking and picnics to water activity at the lake, while local services remain at village scale so most shopping, schools and health services are sought in nearby regional towns.

The community is very small, with 152 residents, a median age of 49 and a median household income of $1,178 a week (about $61,300 a year). Households are weighted towards couples, and most homes are owner occupied. Major local works include an ongoing Maroon Dam upgrade addressing dam safety and flood security, plus conservation funding for weed removal and bush regeneration on Mount Maroon. Whether Maroon suits you depends on how much you value a quiet, rural lifestyle and outdoor access.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Maroon?

Accepted Answer

The only figure available is the median total household income at the most recent Census, $1,178 a week, and that alone doesn't let us judge housing costs.
