Suburb profile
Huntley is a residential smaller community in Orange with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with a strong presence of young families throughout.
Transport options are solid enough for daily errands and regular trips further afield. Property is in demand, reflecting the appeal of living in a place people actively choose.
A busy pipeline of new development is gradually changing the look and feel of the streets.
