Suburb profile
Maude is a residential smaller community in Hay with a familiar suburban feel. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable.

Transport options are solid enough for daily errands and regular trips further afield. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
