Housing & Dwellings in City Beach

Far above the state and national figures, housing costs in City Beach are among the highest in the region. The area is a wealthy enclave where nearly half of all homes are owned outright and most properties are large, detached houses. This creates a high-cost market where typical mortgage and rent payments are significantly higher than in the rest of Australia.
