Affordable Beach Suburbs Remain in Regional Australia
What happened
New research indicates that only 74 suburbs across Australia still offer beachside homes for less than the median unit price in capital cities. The median house price in Solomontown, South Australia, is $330,000, while Port Augusta in South Australia has a median price of $340,000. Many of these affordable suburbs are located in regional areas, including the outback.

Why it matters
The findings highlight a significant gap between metropolitan housing costs and regional affordability, suggesting that regional suburbs offer alternatives for homeowners. The research notes that these regional options may provide more space but potentially less access to infrastructure services or metropolitan employment opportunities.
