Question 1

Is Port Albany a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Port Albany is the historic port precinct of Albany beside Princess Royal Harbour and King George Sound, with old wharves, stone warehouses and a mix of heritage buildings beside harbour-side promenades, seafood outlets and small galleries.

It is a small, older community of 133 people, where couples without children are common and many households own their homes outright. Amenities are concentrated along the harbour and include facilities for commercial and recreational boating, while road links keep shops, services and visitor facilities in the wider Albany centre within easy reach; funding has been provided for a business case to design and redevelop Berth 1 and Berth 2 at the Port of Albany.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Port Albany?

Accepted Answer

Port Albany's typical local household earned about $1,674 a week at the most recent Census, but there haven't been enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable prices or rents for the suburb. Without current price or rent figures, it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in Port Albany 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 Port Albany a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Port Albany hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable figures on how house or unit prices and rents have moved. Without that information, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment.
