Question 1

Is Mount Mary a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mount Mary is a very small rural locality in South Australia's Mid North, surrounded by broad agricultural land used for grain cropping and livestock grazing. Housing is mostly farmhouses and rural residential blocks, so properties generally come with generous land and a quiet outlook. Life follows a country pace centred on seasonal farming, with limited local services and reliance on nearby regional towns for shopping, schools and healthcare. It suits people after a working rural property or a peaceful country lifestyle within reach of regional connections.

Home to just 36 residents, Mount Mary has a median age of 48. Couple families make up 70% of families (40% without children, 30% with children) and 83.3% of homes are owner-occupied, with 16.7% rented. The community restored the old town hall and opened an op shop after renovation, and volunteers plan a storage shed so the hall can be used for functions again. The locality also retains a historic hotel.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mount Mary?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Mount Mary to publish reliable house, unit or rent figures. With only the ABS median household income recorded at the last Census, there isn't a clear picture of how expensive it is to live in Mount Mary compared with local incomes.

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