Question 1

Is Monjingup a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Monjingup is a small, quiet rural locality in the Esperance region, set among agricultural paddocks, pockets of native bush and a local lake and wetland area that attracts birdlife. Housing is low density, with country-style homes, sheds and hobby farms alongside working properties, so the feel is rural rather than suburban. The Lake Monjingup Nature Reserve, a Class A reserve, supports birdwatching, bushwalking and picnicking, and the area suits people who want space and outdoor access, including small-scale farming, with shops, schools and services available in nearby Esperance and the coast within easy reach for weekend escapes.

About 394 people live in Monjingup, with a median age of 45 and a typical household income of $1,875 a week (about $97,500 a year). The community is dominated by couple families, who together account for 86.6% of families, and roughly nine in ten homes are owner-occupied (34.8% owned outright, 56.2% with a mortgage) while 8.9% are rented. There are no significant new infrastructure or development projects in Monjingup, so whether it suits you comes down to whether a low-density, nature-focused rural lifestyle is what you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Monjingup?

Accepted Answer

Monjingup hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable median house or unit prices or typical rents. Without those figures, there isn't a clear picture of how expensive it is to live in Monjingup compared with local incomes recorded 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.
