Question 1

Is Royston a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Royston is a small rural locality in the Sunshine Coast hinterland with a quiet, country atmosphere and low-density living. The landscape is made up of grazing paddocks, pockets of native eucalypt bush and gently rolling hills, and housing is largely hobby farms and homes on generous lots rather than suburban blocks. Local roads thread through the area and the D'Aguilar Highway passes through the southern part of the locality, while larger town centres for shopping, schools and rail connections are still within reach. Outdoor pursuits such as bushwalking and small-scale farming are part of everyday life.

About 346 people live in Royston, with a median age of 46 and a median total household income of $1,416 a week, about $73,632 a year. Family households are prominent, with couple families (with and without children) accounting for 85.3% of families, and owner-occupation is the vast majority at 92.4%. That mix points to a settled, owner-occupied, semi-rural community that will suit people who want space, privacy and a more rural pace; whether it feels right depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Royston?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Royston to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes at the last Census. Because only the local household income from the most recent Census is available, that figure alone doesn't let us compare current housing costs to what people earned then.

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 Royston a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales in Royston to publish reliable 12-month figures for house or unit values or for rents. Without those numbers, it's not possible to describe how the suburb has performed as an investment over the past year.
