Question 1

Is West Lamington a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

West Lamington is a residential pocket of Kalgoorlie-Boulder noted for its semi-arid red-soil landscape, wide streets and modest single-storey brick and weatherboard homes.

The community is young and has incomes above the Western Australian median; couples with children account for 53.4% of families and many homes are owner-occupied. Local life centres on nearby shops, sporting ovals and community facilities, and there is an expression of interest for a small café at Hammond Park.

Accepted Answer

A house in West Lamington rents for about $700 a week. Against a typical local household income of about $2,456 a week in the most recent Census, that rent would take roughly 28% of a household's weekly income.

On these figures, renting a house in West Lamington would take a moderate share of a typical local household's income, so whether that feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances.
