Question 1

Is Mount Chalmers a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mount Chalmers is a small rural village on the slopes of its namesake hill, with timber cottages, hobby farms and surrounding bushland and rolling country.

The community is small, with 226 people, and older, with many households owning their homes outright and incomes below the Queensland median. Local life centres on outdoor living, with bush walks, birdlife and rural views nearby, and residents travel on local sealed roads to Rockhampton and the Capricorn Coast for larger services and shopping. The Mount Chalmers Community History Centre operates from the former Mount Chalmers State School site.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mount Chalmers?

Accepted Answer

There aren't reliable recent sale or rental figures for Mount Chalmers, so it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes. For reference, a typical local household earned about $1,268 a week at the most recent Census.

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