Question 1

Is Thomson Brook a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Thomson Brook is a small rural-residential pocket on the outskirts of the Bunbury area where streets give way to rolling farmland and patches of native bush. Housing is largely larger lots and hobby farms, so the suburb attracts buyers seeking space, tranquillity and room for horses or gardens rather than dense urban living. There are few commercial facilities inside the locality, so day-to-day shopping, schools and health services are accessed in nearby centres and most people travel by car to reach coastal amenities and regional transport links.

The community is very small, 89 people with a median age of 56 and a median household income of $966 a week (about $50,200 a year). All reported families are couple families, split between 54.5% with children and 45.5% without. Most homes are owner-occupied (53.8% owned outright and 34.6% owned with a mortgage) while 11.5% are rented. The locality contains heritage-listed places including St Thomas' Anglican Church and no significant new public-infrastructure projects are reported.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Thomson Brook?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Thomson Brook to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes. For reference, the ABS recorded a median total household income of $966 a week at the last Census, but that figure on its own does not show whether housing costs are high or low in the suburb.

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 Thomson Brook a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales in Thomson Brook (6239) to publish reliable figures on how house and unit prices and rents moved over the last 12 months. Without those published movements, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb performed as an investment during that period.
