Question 1

Is Perlubie a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Perlubie is a small coastal hamlet centred on Perlubie Beach and the low dunes, with modest beach houses and traditional shacks set among native coastal scrub rather than dense suburban streets. Life here revolves around the water, with fishing, surfing, beachcombing and birdwatching common pastimes. The community is very small, just 45 people, with a median age of 62 and a median household income of $962 a week, and homes are predominantly owner-occupied. The overall feel is peaceful and rural, appealing to families and to people seeking a simple seaside lifestyle away from the city.

Residents rely on nearby Streaky Bay for shops and services, while the council has several public works under way and has completed beach access improvements. Regional programs funded campground works at Perlubie Beach, including access fencing, revegetation, pest and weed control and consistent signage, and the regional booking system now covers the council-run campground sites with caps and fees to manage visitor numbers. Whether Perlubie suits you comes down to whether a very small, water-focused coastal community with services in a neighbouring town fits your needs.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Perlubie?

Accepted Answer

Perlubie (SA 5680) hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents. That means the median household income recorded at the most recent Census on its own doesn't provide a clear basis for judging how expensive housing is in the suburb. Without current price or rent figures, it's not possible to compare housing costs against 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 Perlubie a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Perlubie hasn't had enough recent property sales to publish reliable figures on how house or unit values and rents have changed this year. Without that information, there isn't a clear picture of how it has performed as an investment lately.
