Suburb profile

Glengarrie is a residential smaller community in Tweed with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees.

The streetscape feels settled and established, with older homes giving the area a familiar, lived-in look.
