Question 1

Is St Helens Beach a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

St Helens Beach is a small seaside locality beside the Coral Sea, known for its sandy shoreline, tidal flats and nearby wetlands.

The community is small and older, with 175 residents; many households own their homes outright and couples without children are common. Streets are quiet, and fishing, boating and birdwatching are common pastimes. Local services are limited, so residents use nearby towns for shopping, schools and broader services. The Carpet Snake Point boat ramp was upgraded and now includes solar LED lighting and CCTV as part of a seven-ramp security upgrade.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in St Helens Beach?

Accepted Answer

At the last Census, a typical household in St Helens Beach earned about $1,016 a week. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in St Helens Beach to publish reliable house or unit prices or average rents, so it isn't possible to say how expensive it is to live here 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.
