Koorabye is a remote Aboriginal community located within the Derby-West Kimberley region of Western Australia. Due to its small size and isolation, the housing market in Koorabye is limited, with few properties available for purchase or rent. The community typically consists of modest dwellings that are designed to accommodate the local population's needs. Housing is often arranged through community-led initiatives or governmental programs that aim to support Indigenous residents in obtaining affordable and suitable accommodation. The remoteness of Koorabye means that the housing market does not experience the same fluctuations seen in urban areas, and properties, when available, are typically not influenced by wider market trends.
Living in Koorabye offers a unique experience characterized by its strong sense of community and rich cultural heritage. Residents enjoy a close-knit environment where traditional customs and practices are valued and preserved. The community's location within the expansive and picturesque landscape of the Kimberley region provides a backdrop of natural beauty, with opportunities for outdoor activities and a deep connection to the land. However, living in such a remote area can also present challenges, such as limited access to services, amenities, and employment opportunities. Essential services are often centralized in larger towns like Derby or Broome, requiring travel for healthcare, education, and shopping. Despite these challenges, many residents of Koorabye take pride in their community's resilience and cultural vibrancy.

In this area of average incomes, there is a mix of housing size and quality. While this may present buying opportunities, growth may be constrained. As buyers begin to examine Koorabye due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth.
