Suburb profile
Boolambayte is a residential smaller community in Mid-Coast with a familiar suburban feel. Life revolves around the local community, with the wider region offering trips and services when needed. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with families and grandchildren still a visible part of community life.
Reasonable public transport access helps with commuting and getting around locally. The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
