Question 1

Is O'Connell a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

O'Connell is an outer southern, rural-residential suburb of Gladstone with quiet, established streets and predominantly lowset family homes. Local parks and community facilities are easy to access and the harbour and coastal recreation of the region are within easy reach for weekends. Practical road links make getting around Gladstone straightforward, and there are no significant new public infrastructure or civic amenity projects reported for O'Connell at this time.

It is a very small community of 399 people with a median age of 43, and the family mix is dominated by couples — 46.6% are couples with children and 43.7% are couples without children, together accounting for 90.3% of families. Home ownership is high at 82.6% and the typical household income is $2,333 per week (roughly $121,300 a year). That combination makes O'Connell a practical, settled base for families and workers who want a simple, convenient place near the city; whether it suits you comes down to what you value in a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in O'Connell?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in O'Connell, QLD 4680 to publish reliable median house, unit or rent figures. Because of that, and because the only available number is the suburb's median household income as recorded at the most recent Census, it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in O'Connell 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.
