Question 1

Is Meikleville Hill a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Meikleville Hill is a compact coastal pocket of Yeppoon on a modest headland with outlooks across Keppel Bay. Life here has a relaxed seaside rhythm: leafy streets and a mix of older timber cottages and low-rise contemporary homes on elevated blocks catch sea breezes, while foreshore parks, beaches and harbour facilities are easy to reach. It feels quieter than the town centre but remains well connected by the main coastal road, suiting families, retirees and people after a coastal lifestyle close to town amenities.

The suburb is a small, settled community of about 450 people with a median age of 52 and a median household income of $1,589 a week (roughly $82,600 a year). Most homes are owner-occupied (73.1%), with renters making up 27.0% of dwellings. Meikleville Hill is on Yeppoon’s water and sewerage network, council has completed works on the local reservoir, and the Meikleville Hill gully serves as the area’s drainage feature.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Meikleville Hill?

Accepted Answer

Renting a house in Meikleville Hill sits at the higher end of local incomes as recorded at the most recent Census. At $750 a week, house rent would take about 47.2% of a typical local household's weekly income at that Census, a large share of income. If you're renting, that's the figure that matters when you compare housing costs to what people locally earned at the last Census.

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