Question 1

Is Seaforth a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Seaforth is a coastal locality near the Coral Sea with a relaxed seaside feel, low-density housing, holiday properties and open coastal outlooks.

It is an older community of couples without children at home, who make up 65.2% of families and where many households own their homes outright; local conveniences are modest and larger services and shopping are accessed in Mackay, while fishing, boating and beach visits are common pastimes. Mackay Regional Council has adopted a revised Seaforth Esplanade Master Plan, ran community consultation and will carry out minor preparatory works including installing a new flagpole, and the broader esplanade redevelopment has progressed through planning and tender stages.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Seaforth?

Accepted Answer

Seaforth's typical household earned $1,088 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Seaforth to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so it's not possible to say how expensive living there 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.
