Suburb profile

Jones Island is a residential smaller community in Mid-Coast with a familiar suburban feel. 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 families and grandchildren still a visible part of community life.

Housing remains accessible compared with many parts of the state. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.

Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.
