Question 1

Is Northcliffe a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Northcliffe is a small country town in the Shire of Manjimup set among towering karri and jarrah forests and surrounded by farmland and reserves. With a population of 288 and a median age of 50, it has a quietly rural character and attracts people who work in forestry and agriculture, creatives and others drawn to an outdoors lifestyle. Days here often centre on bushwalking, birdwatching and small-scale farming, while a compact main street provides basic services and a community hub for markets and events. Housing ranges from timber cottages and weatherboard homes to larger rural residential blocks, and the town sits close to the southern coast and extensive bushland.

The community is mostly owner-occupied (81.5%) and dominated by couple households, and the typical household income is about $1,080 a week. Local civic amenities include the Northcliffe Community Resource Centre, a Visitor Centre that houses the public library (now reopened), the Family and Community Centre and the town hall. Planning work — a recreation grounds master plan, a Shire priority for main-street renewal, proposed regional trail connections and the Northcliffe Timber Cluster community project — ties the town into broader regional planning. Whether Northcliffe suits you comes down to how much you value a small, rural, outdoors-centred community.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Northcliffe?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Northcliffe to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents. The ABS records a typical local household income of $1,080 a week at the last Census, but without current price or rent figures it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live here 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.

Question 3

Is Northcliffe a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales in Northcliffe to publish reliable figures on how house or unit values and rents have changed over the past year. Without that information, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment over the same period.
