Question 1

Is North Curl Curl a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

North Curl Curl is a compact beachside suburb centred on a broad sandy surf beach and the adjacent lagoon reserve, with a prominent headland and coastal walking paths that give it a strong outdoor focus. The area feels quietly residential, with mostly low-rise dwellings, modest family homes and some apartment pockets set among leafy streets and small parks. It is home to about 4,288 people, has a median age of 40 and a median household income of $3,611 a week. Families form the core of the community, with couple families with children the largest group, and most homes are owner-occupied.

Day-to-day life is shaped by the surf and shore and the suburb draws surfers, young families and people after a relaxed seaside routine. Buses along the main road and nearby Dee Why and Curl Curl give access to shopping and cafes, and recent upgrades and ongoing projects have improved sports, community and walking and cycling facilities as well as coastal vegetation and park renewals. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in North Curl Curl?

Accepted Answer

Against local incomes recorded at the most recent Census, buying a house in North Curl Curl sits well above what a typical household earned then. The median house price of $3,825,000 is about 20.4 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, a high multiple by that measure.

Renting looks different depending on dwelling type: the average house rent of $1,745 a week would take about 48.3% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a large share, while the average unit rent of $800 a week would take about 22.2%, a moderate share. Which of these matters most depends on whether you plan to rent or buy and on your own circumstances.

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