Question 1

Is Yalyalup a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Yalyalup sits on the fringe of Busselton, mixing new residential estates with pockets of rural land and established farmhouses. Streets are made up of contemporary homes, larger blocks and some tree-lined avenues, and the suburb offers a quieter alternative to the town centre while remaining connected. Residents have easy access to coastal beaches, the Busselton Jetty and nearby wetlands, the regional airport on the suburb’s edge, and local shops with Busselton’s services within easy reach.

Home to 2,950 people with a median age of 36, Yalyalup is a suburb where family life is prominent and homes are largely owner-occupied (80.1%). It suits families and people seeking more space. There is local planning activity too: the regional airport has a master plan for future terminal and airside and landside works, a nearby industrial park is being progressed, and the Embark masterplanned community is under construction with a town centre, a primary school site, parks, lakes, retail, childcare and medical facilities planned.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Yalyalup?

Accepted Answer

House rents run to about $830 a week in Yalyalup, which is roughly 47.0% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census. On these figures that is a large share of income, so renting a house here would take nearly half of what a typical local household earned at the last Census and looks relatively stretched against 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.
