Question 1

Is Mollymook a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mollymook is a coastal village beside Mollymook Beach and the Narrawallee Inlet, with a notable golf course, shoreline reserves and a small village shopping strip.

The community is older, with couples without children making up 58.0% of families and many households owning their homes outright. Mornings often bring surfers and walkers along the sand and afternoons centre on small cafes and takeaway shops, while local facilities include a surf lifesaving club, boat access to the inlet and coastal reserves used for fishing, swimming and cliff-top walking. South Mollymook coastal protection works are in the planning stage.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mollymook?

Accepted Answer

A typical local household in Mollymook earned $1,346 a week at the most recent Census. On that basis, renting a house at $650 a week would take about 48% of a typical local household's weekly income, a large share.

Buying is farther from local incomes: a $990,000 median house price works out to about 14.1 times a typical local annual household income, which sits well above local incomes. Whether that feels expensive depends 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.
