Question 1

Is Seven Hills a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Seven Hills is a quiet, established bayside suburb in Brisbane’s Wynnum-Manly area, sitting on gentle slopes that give many streets leafy outlooks towards Moreton Bay. The neighbourhood is largely residential, with weatherboard and brick homes on modest blocks alongside some newer infill housing. It is home to about 2,732 people, has a median age of 37 and a household income around $2,888 a week, and households are dominated by couples — particularly couple families with children — with most homes owner-occupied.

Residents rely on nearby Manly and Wynnum village centres for cafes, shops and waterfront amenities, and there are local parks and boat ramps for bay access. Public transport and main roads provide straightforward connections across the bayside and to the city. Land use planning names a Seven Hills TAFE precinct, a school designation allows a new multi-purpose hall with specified on-site parking and pedestrian improvements and a school transport management plan, and the council-run Seven Hills Hub beside Griffith Place Park has received funding for painting and facility upgrades.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Seven Hills?

Accepted Answer

On the figures for Seven Hills 4170, buying a house sits well above what local households earned at the last Census: the median house price of $1,870,000 is about 12.5 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census (weekly household income $2,888 × 52 = $150,176). Renting looks less stretched by comparison. An average house rent of $895 a week would take roughly 31% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, while a unit rent of $700 a week would take about 24.2%. Whether that feels expensive will depend on your own circumstances.

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