Suburb profile
Conjola is a welcoming smaller community in Shoalhaven, with a settled community character. 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 multiple generations sharing the same neighbourhood.
Strong public transport connections keep the wider area accessible. Housing carries a premium, but residents tend to feel the lifestyle justifies the commitment.
Steady development is bringing new homes and gradual renewal to parts of the suburb.
