Question 1

Is Thagoona a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Thagoona is a small semi-rural suburb in the City of Ipswich, with paddocks, hobby farms and pockets of native bush. Housing is low-density, with older farmhouse-style homes and newer rural-residential blocks rather than dense streets. Local shopping is limited, so residents typically use nearby Rosewood or Ipswich for schools, supermarkets and services. Thagoona railway station on the Rosewood line provides rail links into Ipswich and Brisbane, so commuting by train is possible.

Families make up the large majority here: couple families with children are 43.6% and couple families without children 42.3%, together accounting for 85.9% of families. The community numbers 1,077 people, with a median age of 43 and a median total household income of $2,091 a week, roughly $108,732 a year.

One-parent families account for 13.1% of families (41 families) and other families 1.0% (3 families), completing the family profile.

Homes in Thagoona are predominantly owner-occupied: 34.8% are owned outright and 50.8% are owned with a mortgage, a combined 85.6% owner-occupied, while 14.4% of dwellings are rented.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Thagoona?

Accepted Answer

Thagoona had a median total household income of $2,091 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Thagoona to put reliable price or rent figures on houses or units, so it's not 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.

Is Thagoona a good place to invest?
