Suburb profile
Caerleon is a welcoming smaller community in Mid-Western Regional, with a settled community character. Life revolves around the local community, with the wider region offering trips and services when needed. A younger crowd gives the area energy, with plenty of young families in the mix.
Public transport is a genuine asset, linking residents to work, study and nearby neighbourhoods. Housing carries a premium, but residents tend to feel the lifestyle justifies the commitment.
A busy pipeline of new development is gradually changing the look and feel of the streets.
