Suburb profile

Kunghur 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. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with a strong presence of young families throughout.

Transport options are solid enough for daily errands and regular trips further afield. Housing remains accessible compared with many parts of the state.

Infill and new builds are slowly updating the area without overwhelming its existing character.
