Question 1

Is Middleton Beach a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Middleton Beach is a seaside suburb of Albany on the sheltered waters of King George Sound, centred on a long sandy foreshore and an esplanade with cafes, small guesthouses and beachside lawns. It has a relaxed coastal rhythm that suits holidaymakers, families and people seeking a quieter everyday pace. Housing mixes low-rise seaside apartments with older single-level homes, many with easy beach access, and walking paths and lookout points make swimming, paddleboarding and seasonal whale watching easy to enjoy. Albany’s shops and services are close by for regular errands and dining out.

The local community is small, about 759 residents, with a median age of 56 and largely family-based households, and most homes are owner-occupied. The foreshore has seen a major public upgrade delivering coastal protection, a new promenade, an upgraded car park and beach showers at Ellen Cove. Further precinct projects are under way, including procurement for the Southern Ocean Surf Reef and staged redevelopment of the Albany Surf Life Saving Club, and a shark barrier enclosure operates around Ellen Cove. Whether Middleton Beach suits you depends on whether you want a compact coastal community with easy beach access and nearby Albany services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Middleton Beach?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Middleton Beach run to about $735 a week. Against a typical local household income of $1,467 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, that rent would take about 50.1% of a household's weekly income, which is a large share of income.

If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure that matters; whether it feels expensive will depend on your own income and circumstances.

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 Middleton Beach a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer
