What Mount Foster is known for: Green suburb

Suburb profile

Mount Foster is a hillside smaller community in Warren, with elevated streets and a greener, quieter pace. Far from the capital hubbub, it offers genuine distance, local character and room to live at a slower pace. Fresh country air and elevated outlooks are part of the appeal up here among the hills.

Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with plenty of residents in steady employment. Homes are relatively affordable, which helps families and first-time residents put down roots.

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