Suburb profile
Limestone is a residential smaller community in Inverell with a familiar suburban feel. Set in the wider countryside, it offers distance from the capital and a strong sense of place. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with plenty of young families in the mix.
Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.
Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.
