Question 1

Is Seabird a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Seabird is a very small coastal village on Western Australia’s northern fringe facing the Indian Ocean. With 107 residents and a median age of 64, it has a relaxed seaside character with sandy beaches, dunes and coastal scrub, and a shoreline that draws anglers, surfers and people who enjoy long walks. Housing is low-rise and understated, a mix of modest permanent homes and holiday cottages on generous lots, and most dwellings are owner-occupied (83.8% combined). Residents rely on nearby larger towns for the bulk of shopping, schools and services, so day-to-day life centres on the coast and the local community.

Major coastal protection work has been carried out on the foreshore, including a limestone armoured seawall with reinforced beach access, stairways and revegetation, and the Shire is undertaking coastal hazard planning for the area. Local assets include groundwater monitoring bores, a Shire waste facility, Seabird Hall and the Seabird Recreation Grounds. Whether Seabird suits you depends on whether you want a very small, settled seaside place focused on outdoor recreation and quiet living.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Seabird?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Seabird 6042 to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so the current cost of housing in the suburb isn't available. The ABS records a median household income at the last Census of $959 a week, but on its own that figure doesn't show whether housing here is expensive 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 Seabird a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Seabird fell 28.5% over the past 12 months, a sharp decline in the capital value of houses this year. For someone looking at Seabird as an investment, that figure speaks to capital value movement on the house side.

There is little recent data here on unit values or rents, so these numbers mainly speak to the house market. Whether that single movement makes Seabird the right investment for you depends on your goals and circumstances.
