Question 1

Is Sharon a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Sharon is a mainly residential suburb on the outskirts of Bundaberg, with a mix of established streets and semi-rural blocks where properties often sit on larger allotments. It has a quiet, green character with pockets of open paddocks and hobby-farming, and it appeals to families and people after more outdoor space while keeping access to Bundaberg’s shops, schools, sporting facilities, the river and nearby coastal villages. Daily life tends to centre on local roads linking to the wider Bundaberg area.

The community is small and settled — population 1,209 with a median age of 47 — and couple families make up about nine in ten families (46.2% without children, 42.8% with children). Homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied, about nine in ten owned (49.1% owned outright, 44.0% owned with a mortgage; 6.9% rented). Sharon State School is in the suburb and there are no significant new public infrastructure or civic projects reported at this time.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Sharon?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Sharon 4670 to publish reliable house or unit price and rent figures. The ABS records a median total household income of $1,375 a week at the last Census, but without current price or rent data it's not possible to say how housing costs compare 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 Sharon a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months house values in Sharon rose 5.4%, a solid increase. That change is the figure to look at if you're focused on capital growth.

Whether that movement makes Sharon a suitable investment depends on your own goals and circumstances.
