Question 1

Is Mount Clarence a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mount Clarence is a hill-top suburb in Albany centred on its landmark peak and the National Anzac Centre. Lookouts, parkland and coastal panoramas overlook King George Sound.

The community is an older one, with many households owning their homes outright and couples without children the largest family group, at 51.4% of families. Walking trails, green spaces and viewpoints are part of everyday life, and Albany's shops, services and schools are a short drive away; the Mount Clarence Memorial Precinct received infrastructure improvements funded as part of ANZAC Centenary works.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mount Clarence?

Accepted Answer

A house in Mount Clarence rents for about $670 a week. Against a typical local household income of about $1,586 a week at the last Census, that rent would take roughly 42% of income, a large share of a typical household's weekly earnings, so for renters that is the figure that matters.

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 Mount Clarence a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Mount Clarence hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable figures on how its prices or rents have moved, which is common in smaller or quieter markets. Without that, there isn't a clear picture of how it has performed as an investment.
