Question 1

Is Uki a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Uki is a small hinterland village at the foothills of Wollumbin/Mount Warning, set among rainforest and rolling farmland. It has a lived-in, creative feel with a compact main street of a pub, a few cafes, galleries and community spaces serving locals, artists and small-scale farmers. Housing ranges from timber cottages on tree-lined streets to lifestyle blocks and acreage, and the area appeals to people after a quieter, outdoor-oriented life with easy access to bushwalking, lookouts and the coastal towns of the Tweed.

About 685 people live in Uki, with a median age of 48 and a median household income of $1,283 a week. Families are largely couples, and roughly four in five homes are owner-occupied while about 18% are rented. The town has seen a string of council-led rebuilds and upgrades after the floods, with parks, riverbank stabilisation, the sportsground and the water treatment plant rebuilt or upgraded for greater flood resilience and further works planned. Whether Uki suits you will come down to whether a small, outdoors-oriented community fits what you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Uki?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Uki to publish reliable current price and rent figures. Uki's median total household income was $1,283 a week at the most recent Census, but without price or rent data it's not possible to say how expensive housing is 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.

Question 3

Is Uki a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Uki declined 5.9% over the past 12 months, a notable fall in the suburb's house capital value for the year. For someone assessing Uki as an investment, that figure speaks to capital growth for houses during the period. There isn't enough recent data to report how unit prices or rents moved, so the available signal here relates only to the change in house values; whether that matters for you depends on your own goals and circumstances.
