Suburb profile
Myrtle Park is a residential smaller community in Edward River with a familiar suburban feel. Distance from the capital is noticeable, but the trade-off is space, calm and a community that knows its neighbours. The community skews younger, with plenty of young families in the mix.
The town centre holds its own, with enough local flavour to make staying close to home appealing. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
