Question 1

Is River Ranch a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

River Ranch is a semi-rural Gladstone suburb of low-density lots, established homes among native trees and open paddocks.

An older community with incomes above the Queensland median, River Ranch has many households buying their homes; couples without children are the largest family group and 269 people lived in the suburb at the 2021 Census. Road connections link residents to Gladstone's schools, shops and community facilities, and local parks and recreational spaces provide places for walking, sport and weekend projects. The Calliope River Rest Area on the Old Bruce Highway is being comprehensively upgraded, including full refurbishment of the two public toilet blocks and the installation of new tertiary septic systems.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in River Ranch?

Accepted Answer

At the most recent Census a typical household in River Ranch had a weekly income of about $2,333. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in River Ranch to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so it's not possible to say how expensive the suburb is 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.
