Homely Unveils Top 50 Most Liveable and Affordable Suburbs in Australia

Homely is excited to announce the release of the first edition of The Homely Report, showcasing the Top 50 Most Liveable and Affordable Suburbs in Australia, as voted by Homely locals.

This report provides valuable insights for property seekers looking for the best budget-friendly places to settle down without compromising on lifestyle benefits.

Homely’s hyperlocal suburb and street reviews, along with active local discussion forums, offer an in-depth look at cities, suburbs, and towns across the nation. Thousands of locals have shared their insights, discussing factors that influence property decisions, including the cost of living, housing prices, local business growth, infrastructure developments, community attributes, and amenities like parks and schools.

David Webb, Head of Industry and Revenue Partnerships from Homely.com.au states, “The majority of these locations are close to a regional hub. When considering property in a new area, it’s important to look for existing or planned infrastructure, as this indicates potential for positive capital growth and ensures access to necessary amenities.”

Topping the list this year is Queenstown, TAS, a charming suburb in the rugged west of Tasmania, where you can purchase a 3-bedroom family home for around $300,000. Known for its community activities and welcoming vibe, Queenstown is gaining popularity among home buyers. Other notable suburbs include Davoren Park, SA, and Southport, QLD, which offer a blend of affordability relative to their blue chip neighbours, as well as a high-quality lifestyle, making them attractive to both investors and families.
