Question 1

Is Rodds Bay a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Rodds Bay is a quiet coastal area centred on shallow bay waters, mangrove-lined creeks and tidal flats, with a public boat ramp at Turkey Beach.

With 133 residents, Rodds Bay is an older, sparsely settled community where many homes are owned outright and couples without children are common. There are few local services, so residents use nearby towns for shops and schools, and recreational life is focused on fishing, boating and birdwatching; access is by local and regional roads rather than public transport.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Rodds Bay?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Rodds Bay to publish reliable price or rent figures, so it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes. For context, the typical local household earned $1,125 a week at the most recent Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
