Question 1

Is Vasse a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Vasse is a coastal township beside the Vasse River and close to Geographe Bay, combining suburban streets of modern family homes with larger rural residential lots. The compact town centre has local shops and cafés, and much of everyday life centres on the river, nearby wetlands and beaches, which are used for boating, walking and birdwatching. Surrounding farmland and vineyards give the area a rural outlook even as the suburb grows.

It is a community of 2,853 people with a median age of 39 and a typical household income of $1,810 a week. Homes are predominantly owner-occupied (about 84.4% combined) and nearly half of families are couple families with children, so the area leans towards established households. Several local projects are planned, including a funded new primary school at Vasse West, upgrades to the existing primary school, a structure plan for new neighbourhoods with an underpass for pedestrian and cycle access, planning for a bypass with proposed interchanges, and a forecast multipurpose community centre. Whether Vasse suits you comes down to how much you value quieter coastal living with nearby schools, shops and access to Busselton for services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Vasse?

Accepted Answer

Buying a house in Vasse sits well above what local households earned at the last Census. The median house price of $1,130,000 works out to about 12.0 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, which is a high multiple against local incomes.

Renting a house here would also take a large share of a typical local household's weekly income: $850 a week is roughly 47% of a household earning $1,810 a week at the last Census. If you are renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure that matters when judging cost.

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 Vasse a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

A strong 15.1% rise in house values over the past 12 months shows houses in Vasse produced notable capital growth. House rents rose 6.2% over the same period, a solid increase in rental income but smaller than the value rise, so capital growth outpaced rental income on the house side this year. Which of those matters most will depend on whether you prioritise capital gains or rental income when assessing Vasse as an investment.
