Question 1

Is Southport a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Southport is a small, remote Tasmanian locality set among native vegetation and coastal waterways, and it contains a dual-lane boat ramp on Kingfisher Beach Road.

The community is older, incomes are below the Tasmanian median and 60.6% of homes are owned outright. Local services are limited, so residents rely on larger towns for shops, schools and medical care, and the area is accessed by a single regional road into the Channel region. The Huon Highway Corridor Strategy for Kingston to Southport was completed and sets a 30-year program of prioritised road improvement projects for the Huon Highway.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Southport?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Southport to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents. A typical local household earned about $756 a week at the last Census, so without current price or rent figures it isn't possible to say how expensive living in Southport 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.
