Suburb profile

Burroway is a residential smaller community in Narromine with a familiar suburban feel. Out in the wider region, it rewards those who value open country and a pace set by the land, not the clock. The community skews younger, with a strong presence of young families throughout.

Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. Public transport is a genuine asset, linking residents to work, study and nearby neighbourhoods.

Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer.
