Question 1

Is Pink Lake a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Pink Lake sits on the outskirts of Esperance around the shallow saline lake that gives it its name. It has a relaxed coastal character and low-density housing set among coastal scrub and salt flats, and attracts long-term locals, retirees and holiday homeowners. Life is outdoors-oriented, with easy access to beaches, birdwatching and coastal walks, while local roads link residents to Esperance’s services and foreshore attractions. Housing ranges from older weatherboard cottages to more recent single-level homes and holiday units.

Families dominate the household mix; the community numbers 1,042 people with a median age of 43, and homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied (87.0%). Median total household income is $1,817 a week. Local projects include a Shire feasibility study and proposed trial to recover the lake’s historic pink colour, a federal Black Spot upgrade for Pink Lake Road to add sealed shoulders, a shared path and improved intersections, and a Shire grant for track re-closure and revegetation at Pink Lake Reserve. Whether Pink Lake suits you will come down to how much you value its coastal, low-density setting and outdoor lifestyle.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Pink Lake?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Pink Lake to publish reliable house or unit prices or average rents. With only the local median household income recorded at the last Census available, there isn't enough information to say how expensive it is to live in Pink Lake 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 Pink Lake a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales in Pink Lake to produce reliable 12-month figures for house or unit values, or for house or unit rents. Without those published movements, it isn't possible to describe how the suburb has performed as an investment over the past year.
