Suburb profile
Stotts Creek is a welcoming smaller community in Tweed, with a settled community character. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. A mature community gives the area a calm, settled social fabric, with a community of people who commute and work locally.
Homes here are sought-after, with many people drawn to the lifestyle the area offers. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
Light infill development is updating a few streets while the wider area stays largely unchanged.
