Question 1

Is Pretty Beach a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Pretty Beach is a quiet bayside village on the western side of the Bouddi Peninsula, sitting on the sheltered waters of Brisbane Water and backed by the bush of Bouddi National Park. The suburb is characterised by waterside homes, timber holiday cottages and some newer residences tucked into tree-lined streets, giving a low-density coastal feel. Residents are drawn to boating, fishing and bushwalking, and there are foreshore reserves, a jetty and a managed boat ramp, while local shops are limited and more services and ferry connections are available at nearby Ettalong.

The community is small, with 314 people and a median age of 57, and median household income of $1,818 a week, about $94,500 a year. Families are mostly couples, many without children, and homes are largely owner-occupied with 52.4% owned outright, 34.9% owned with a mortgage and 12.7% rented. Local improvements include a renewed playspace at Turo Reserve, council-funded road rehabilitation work and a draft Hardys Bay Foreshore Masterplan that proposes better pedestrian access, foreshore erosion and drainage management, boat trailer parking and improved public amenities.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Pretty Beach?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Pretty Beach to publish reliable house or unit price and rent figures. Because of that, it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with what local households earned at the last Census.

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 Pretty Beach a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Pretty Beach climbed 32.1% over the past 12 months. That is a strong rise, so on the data available the clearest movement this year is capital growth on the house side. If rental income or the unit market is what you care about, there isn't enough recent data here to describe how those figures moved.
