Where is Evans Head

Situated on the NSW far north coast, Evans Head is a picturesque seaside town known for its beaches, fishing and natural beauty.

A popular holiday spot, it’s not unusual to see the town’s population of 4000 swell to more than triple its regular size during the school holidays. One of the biggest attractions for families is the long sandy main beaches providing great surfing conditions as well as the shallow calm beaches along the Evans River estuary – there are conditions to suit everyone. The relaxed lifestyle also makes it attractive for retirees.

House prices start from around $320,000, while properties across from the beach are upwards of $450,000 to $500,000. The median sale price for houses in the area is $440,000 (Source: RP Data). Blocks of land start at an affordable $220,000.

There is also an emerging new unit market at Evans Head with apartments with modern amenities demanding more than $400,000.

While Evans Head features a wonderful village atmosphere, it’s only 90 minutes from Coolangatta airport, 25 mintues from Ballina airport and 40 minutes from the ever-popular Byron Bay. As Australia’s first prawning port, prawns and fish are still mainstays of the local economy, as well as tourism.
